It was just after five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there going over the rugby results, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Putney and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly.

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

Adding the incorrect fuel - Adding petrol fuel to a diesel engine can cause all kinds of problems.

Once that takes place, you'll see your engine to start coughing or it might stall. You'll see unusual smoke in the exhaust and starting it back is a problem. Signs seen in a misfueled diesel to a petrol tank are the same too. Whichever of the two kinds of fuels, we can have it fixed for you.

Water Contamination in Engine - Fuel system with water should be drained out completely. Or else the engine with begin to rust and the engine may rev up or jolt or even splutter. This typically happens to boats mostly because of the jerry cans used in filling the tanks which were not fully checked for water left. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to help with replacement filters.

AdBlue immediately added to your tank - Mistakenly adding AdBlue to your tank can contaminate your fuel system. People generally don?t have a concrete idea of what AdBlue is for. It?s not a fuel additive. It?s a liquid that helps reduce the unfavorable effect on our environment simply by reducing the emissions in the car?s exhaust. It should be added via a separate tank, not immediately to the fuel tank. In the event you fall victim to this contamination, let?s us do the flushing job.

Tank with red diesel - This type of fuel may be distributed in a limited number of garage outlets. Still, contamination may find its way to your tank. You may fill your tank unintentionally utilizing jerry cans filled with red diesel. You are maybe not focused on what you are doing or distracted when this happened. Still, don?t worry; we know what to do with it.

Old fuel in your tank - As time goes by, the fuel in the car that has been sitting in the garage for a long time may degrade and not good for the engine anymore. The engine may start once you turn it on but the car won?t run. This old fuel has to be flushed out and we can do that too.

Vehicle Misfuel Putney - Putney Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Putney. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady berating her partner for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Wandsworth and that it's nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never live it down!
