It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Cole Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles from us, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. Another job in Richmond upon Thames well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Richmond upon Thames we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Richmond upon Thames to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We can easily come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

Wrong Fuel Drain Cole Park - Cole Park Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from Cole Park to state that he mistakenly pumped petrol in his diesel Suzuki. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the technician roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly done.
