It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting there talking about the recent sports results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Wandsworth and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Wandsworth done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wandsworth we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Wandsworth for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wandsworth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Wandsworth Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the standard troubles which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Wandsworth - Wandsworth Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt delighted the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family on holiday in Wandsworth. They had conked out after adding diesel in their Mitsubishi, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on on daily basis in Wandsworth and that it's nothing to fret about, however he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the very same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
