It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting discussing the weekend's football results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Putney and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Wandsworth done well in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Wandsworth we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases rather quickly.
Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Wandsworth for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Putney - Putney Fuel Drain
A young lady living in Putney phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fuelled car to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen and, like plenty before her, believed that she would be able to basically top up her tank with diesel and it would run no problem. The car was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired within one hour while she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you fixed my car."
