It was after 8 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting going over the recent golf, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Harold Wood and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda lease car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady swiftly.

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Havering we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Havering 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 dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Harold Wood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Harold Wood - Harold Wood Vehicle Misfuel

I had a great evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set out to aid a young family who were away in Harold Wood. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Vauxhall, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Havering and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
