It was after ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent footy results, ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in St Lukes and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Southwark we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Southwark for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor St Lukes - St Lukes Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were on holiday in St Lukes. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their MG, and they were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in Southwark and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his better half. Poor boy. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
