It was about ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the football rankings, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Richmond and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Richmond upon Thames done well in my mind!

Offered Services:
Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.
AdBlue Contamination
How to handle it if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water.It is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.
Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.
Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Richmond upon Thames to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Richmond - Richmond Fuel Removal
A motorist employed in Richmond phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled car to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel MG and, like many people before her, imagined that she would be able to basically fill the car with diesel and it would be alright. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very relieved you repaired my vehicle."
