It was just after five pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Bromley and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Kingston upon Thames done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kingston upon Thames we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Kingston upon Thames for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
