Wrong Fuel in Car London, London

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in London

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in London (petrol in diesel London) we are the individuals you need to phone. We operate throughout the whole of the London region and all surrounding areas.

It was after eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and me were seated there commenting on the recent sports results, ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in London and filled petrol in her diesel MINI lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in London done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In London we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in London for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in London (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete London Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will handle any of the standard problems which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel London - London Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple of days ago a driver called us when his Lexus stopped working on a street in London. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel car and managed to drive to the street before having to pull over. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who resides close by, reached him in about twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 6 a.m., I am grateful for it."
