It was before eight pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting talking about the weekend's footy results, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Swiss Cottage and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Camden done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Camden we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Camden to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Swiss Cottage (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Camden Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will handle the normal 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 Assist Swiss Cottage - Swiss Cottage Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out just off a street in Swiss Cottage. His Audi engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was awry until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no rest the day before and that could have been precisely why.
