Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Ashtead - Lower Ashtead Wrong Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda in Lower Ashtead. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only bought it a week ago because my other one, which I had had for more than twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Hounslow woman!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hounslow we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hounslow for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Ashtead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Hounslow Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will handle the typical problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Lower Ashtead - Lower Ashtead Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Lower Ashtead to say he pumped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Hyundai. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It only took the technician around 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He carefully flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job properly completed.


Recent Fuel Drains in Lower Ashtead

Testimonies from our own Lower Ashtead mechanics:

Now I am certainly not overly excited about carrying out work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just left home after a lovely lunch cooked by the wife, and I was off to sort out a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his Land Rover. He was only in Lower Ashtead hence I was there soon. As I pulled up right behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I created any problems because of starting it?" I explained there probably should not be damage and also that I'd get the fuel drained right away. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so one more content client had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and this can make earning a living on Sundays in Hounslow just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

Petrol in Diesel Lower Ashtead - Lower Ashtead Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel Vauxhall phoned us for a fuel drain at the BP filling station in Lower Ashtead. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a great beginning to our getaway." It was absolutely no trouble in the least for our technical engineer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lower Ashtead - Lower Ashtead Vehicle Misfuel

A while back a driver contacted us when his Renault died along a street in Lower Ashtead. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who stays locally, reached him in about 10 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I am grateful for it."
