Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Friday Hill

Petrol in your diesel car in Friday Hill? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you driving again with our specialist fuel drain service.

It was about 10 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Friday Hill and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental car in error. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. A job in Southwark well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Southwark to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Friday Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Southwark Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Friday Hill, Southwark

Wrong Fuel Doctor Friday Hill - Friday Hill Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful afternoon cycling during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following day as I headed out to help a young family holidaying in Friday Hill. They pulled over after putting petrol in their Mercedes, and were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife telling off her husband for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on daily basis in Southwark and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
