It was after eight pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking about the rugby results, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hampton Wick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and not so worried. Another job in Merton well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Merton for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hampton Wick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Merton Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the typical problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hampton Wick - Hampton Wick Fuel Removal

A customer had stopped near a road in Hampton Wick. His Renault engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong till he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
