It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Clayhall and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Wandsworth done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:
Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Wandsworth we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Any time you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.
Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Wandsworth to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.
Run Out of Fuel Service
Run out of fuel in Clayhall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Wandsworth Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the usual problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Clayhall - Clayhall Fuel Drain
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI in Clayhall. I had been advised she had left the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just got it a short while back after my former car, which I'd had for about twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Wandsworth woman!
