Fuel Removal Merton - Merton Wrong Fuel in Car

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Saturday and I was en route to help an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel MG in Merton. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded on a backwater road en route to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had just bought it a week ago when my old car, which I had used for more than twenty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Merton woman!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Merton we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Merton to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Merton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Merton Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car Merton - Merton Fuel Drain

The other day a gentleman telephoned us because his Audi cut out on a street in Merton. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and drove so far as the street before having to halt. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, arrived with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."


Recent Fuel Drains in Merton

Stories from our Merton personnel:

Now I am not ever overly inclined to working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the family following a wonderful Sunday roast prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he had put the incorrect petrol in his Porsche. He was located in Merton therefore it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on something else and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted some problems as a result of running it?" I stated there shouldn't be harm and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so one more satisfied customer could continue on their travelling without the bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make working on Sundays in Merton that tiny bit less painful to me!

Fuel Drain Merton - Merton Wrong Fuel Assist

A driver from Merton with a full car of little ones in her diesel Kia had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us weeping and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived she was still upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children in the back."

Fuel Drain Merton - Merton Petrol in Diesel

The other day a young man phoned us after his Ford died along a road in Merton. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the road before being forced to give up. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, got to him in less than fifteen minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 3 a.m., I appreciate it."
