It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Acton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Ealing well done in my books!

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Land Rover in Acton. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a country road on the way to visit her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only purchased it a few days back after my previous one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Ealing woman!
And so, if you've topped up your petrol automobile with diesel, or petrol in your diesel automobile anywhere in Ealing, phone us immediately. Our skilled mechanics are ready for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Acton, Ealing
Wrong Fuel Doctor Acton - Acton Wrong Fuel
I had appreciated a terrific day cycling on the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I set off to aid a new couple on holiday in Acton. They had broken down after putting petrol in their MG, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this goes on on daily basis in Ealing and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he still had an earful. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!

AdBlue In your Fuel
What you can do in the event that you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea.It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.
If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite simply.
Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Ealing for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.
Run Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Acton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Ealing Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Acton
Several stories:
I'm not necessarily that inclined to running weekends, and last week was no different. I had just departed home after eating a fantastic lunch prepared by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a guy after he had put the incorrect fuel in his BMW. He was located in Acton therefore I arrived there very quickly. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on something else and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some damage as a result of starting it?" I explained there probably should not be any kind of problems and also I'd personally get the fuel drained immediately for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another pleased customer could carry on with their trip with no fuss. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that can make working on weekends in Ealing a little bit easier to me!
