It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Fairmile and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, because it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Westminster done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Westminster we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Westminster to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fairmile (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Westminster Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the usual troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Fairmile - Fairmile Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young family who were holidaying in Fairmile. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their Mercedes, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for being so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Westminster and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
