It was about ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Abbey Mead and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Richmond upon Thames well done in my opinion!

Our Services:
Here are the top services we provide to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
All around Richmond upon Thames we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.
So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very quickly.
Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Richmond upon Thames to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his Citroen in Abbey Mead. He had ground to a halt on the street. "I was pleasantly surprised at how fast you were in sending an engineer out to help me when I stupidly unleaded in my diesel car. Thanks". Naturally we arrived punctually and flushed the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the client was raging, but was happy afterwards.
Vehicle Misfuel Abbey Mead - Abbey Mead Vehicle Misfuel
A customer from Abbey Mead with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Kia had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

A gentleman had conked out off a street in Abbey Mead. His Fiat engine had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was the problem until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
