It was after six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there talking about the recent football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Old Ford and put petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and less worried. One more job in Kingston upon Thames well done in my opinion!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a blend of urea and ionized water.Adblue is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Kingston upon Thames to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

A gentleman had stopped just off a street in Old Ford. His Lexus engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
