It was before seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis rankings, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Carshalton and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? It tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Greater London for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Carshalton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater London Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the most common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Carshalton - Carshalton Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic day golfing during my off day and felt satisfied the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family vacationing in Carshalton. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their Citroen, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing goes on quite frequently in Greater London and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyways, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same error... I would personally never live it down!
