It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Forest Hill and filled petrol in her diesel Jaguar rental in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was living in.

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lewisham we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Lewisham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Forest Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
