It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were resting there discussing the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Lambeth and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Another job in Lambeth done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lambeth we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Lambeth to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lambeth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lambeth Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Lambeth - Lambeth Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a perfect evening cycling during my day off and felt pleased the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Lambeth. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal chastising her hubby for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in Lambeth and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted so long and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
