It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the footy results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Buckhurst Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.
AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout Merton we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.
Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.
You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Merton for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Support
Run out of fuel in Buckhurst Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Merton Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
