It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the 6th call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Carshalton and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Greater London well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made out of a blend of high-purity urea and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
