It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Cole Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Richmond upon Thames done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Richmond upon Thames we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Richmond upon Thames to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Cole Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Richmond upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
