It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Barnes and put petrol in her diesel Kia lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Any time you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases quite quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.
