It was before 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Clayhall and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot lease car in error. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Wandsworth done well in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wandsworth we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Wandsworth to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clayhall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Wandsworth Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Clayhall - Clayhall Fuel Rescue

A gentleman phoned us from his place on a road in Clayhall. He exclaimed, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
