We are SPA certified, and delivers national cover for anyone who has accidentally tanked up with the incorrect fuel.

It was before 8 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Woodford Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental car. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Wandsworth done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wandsworth we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Wandsworth to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Woodford Bridge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Wandsworth Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
