It was around ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Mitcham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche lease car. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Fuel Drain Mitcham - Mitcham Wrong Fuel Doctor

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to help an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot in Mitcham. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a week back after my former one, which I'd used for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Merton lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Merton we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Merton to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Some reviews:

We were phoned by a individual whose Mazda had ground to a halt on a road after a misfuel. "I mixed up the pumps and put the wrong fuel in my vehicle . These guys came out and resolved the issue right after my vehicle quit." We purged the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly and the driver could continue with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mitcham - Mitcham Fuel Removal

It truly was the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had been fairly quiet so far, and John and I were sitting reading a couple of old papers. This was a rare quiet time in Merton. Actually it was that peaceful that when the phone finally rang it made me start! The person stated: "I concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a Honda in error". I told him to let us know exactly where the car was and we left, reaching him in Mitcham not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car and he said many thanks for coming so quickly. While we were going back to the office we spotted two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
