Petrol in your diesel car in Welling? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you running once again with our expert wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and me were seated talking over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Welling and put petrol in her diesel Fiat rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. Yet another job in Bexley done well in my books!

Services We Provide:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bexley we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Bexley to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Welling (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Bexley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Welling - Welling Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Welling. His Suzuki engine had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
