It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there talking about the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in St Lukes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Islington well done in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Islington we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not knowing how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Islington for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in St Lukes (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Islington Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the standard problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel St Lukes - St Lukes Fuel Drain

I'd had a perfect afternoon cycling on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple vacationing in St Lukes. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the wife chastising her husband for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs continuously in Islington and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
