It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Leyton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car in error. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and a lot less worried. Another job in Waltham Forest done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Waltham Forest we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Waltham Forest for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Leyton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Waltham Forest Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They can also fix any of the most common issues which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
