Wrong Fuel in Car London, London

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in London

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in London (petrol in diesel London) we are the people you need to speak to. We cover the entirety of the London territory and all adjoining locations.

It was close to six pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in London and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Another fuel drain in London well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in London to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in London (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive London Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the normal problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel London - London Fuel Drain

I appreciated a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were on holiday in London. They conked out after putting diesel into their Nissan, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her man for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs continuously in London and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
