It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Wimbledon and put petrol in her diesel Kia lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Merton well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Merton we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Merton 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. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wimbledon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Merton Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Wimbledon - Wimbledon Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling delighted the following day as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Wimbledon. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their Volvo, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Merton and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still had an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
