It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated going over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Hatch End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Harrow well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hatch End - Hatch End Wrong Fuel Assist
What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel Hyundai in Hatch End. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down along a backwater lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only acquired it a few days back because my previous car, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Harrow lady!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Harrow we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.
So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly easily.
Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several private and business properties in Harrow to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hatch End - Hatch End Wrong Fuel in Car
I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new family on vacation in Hatch End. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Smart, and they were around an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Harrow and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, but he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
