It was around ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the football rankings, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in South Wimbledon and put petrol in her diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Merton done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Merton we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Merton to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in South Wimbledon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Merton Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
