It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting talking about the weekend's footy, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Clayhall and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Wandsworth well done in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wandsworth we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
