What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Kia in Upper Tooting. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a country road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only got it a couple of days back because my old car, which I had used for more than twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Wandsworth woman!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wandsworth we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly never switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Wandsworth to deal with 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. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Upper Tooting (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Wandsworth Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Standard wrong fuel drain reviews in Upper Tooting:

I am not ever so excited about carrying out work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids after a superb roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a gentleman after he filled the incorrect petrol in his MG. He was only in Upper Tooting thus I arrived with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any damage by simply running it?" I explained there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and another pleased customer was able to carry on with their trip without any subsequent hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on weekends in Wandsworth just that tiny bit less painful for me!

A man who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Mitsubishi called us for a fuel drain at the Esso filling station in Upper Tooting. He thought it would be good to top up before proceeding on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which probably wasn't a smart beginning to our holiday break." It was no challenge by any means for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good vacation.
