It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the weekend's sports results, ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Carshalton on the Hill and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. A job in Sutton done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Sutton we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Sutton for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Carshalton on the Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Sutton Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Carshalton on the Hill - Carshalton on the Hill Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Carshalton on the Hill. They had stopped after putting diesel in their Renault, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife berating her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs constantly in Sutton and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
