Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Oatlands Park

Did you realise one can find more than 150,000 cases of customers filling their vehicles with the wrong sort of fuel every year? If you've unfortunately done exactly the same in Oatlands Park, then we can certainly help. We're specialist wrong fuel recovery and drainage professionals. Fully skilled and experienced in working with just about all types of vehicles.

It was just after eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Oatlands Park and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another job in Hammersmith and Fulham well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hammersmith and Fulham we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hammersmith and Fulham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Oatlands Park (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hammersmith and Fulham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also deal with the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Oatlands Park - Oatlands Park Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a gentleman telephoned us when his Smart stopped working along a street in Oatlands Park. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to get so far as the street before being forced to halt. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who resides not far away, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I am grateful for it."
