It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in The Borough and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental. The poor thing was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Kensington and Chelsea well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kensington and Chelsea we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Kensington and Chelsea to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.
