It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Chaldon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car. The poor thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Merton well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Merton we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Merton to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chaldon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Merton Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix the normal issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Chaldon - Chaldon Fuel Removal

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following day as I headed out to aid a new couple away in Chaldon. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their SEAT, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens continuously in Merton and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
