We're merely a telephone call away.

It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Upminster and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another job in Havering done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Havering we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Havering for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Upminster (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will handle the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A gentleman rang us from his house on a close in Upminster. He explained, "My vehicle (a Dacia) is not starting and is generating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle however reckoned he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
