It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Mitcham and put petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less stressed. A job in Merton done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Merton we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Merton for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Mitcham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Merton Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They will fix any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Mitcham - Mitcham Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down off a road in Mitcham. His Skoda motor had stopped running and he had no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
