It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting going over the rugby results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in St Pancras and filled petrol in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Camden well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Camden we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Camden for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in St Pancras (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Camden Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
