It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Coombe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious.

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kingston upon Thames we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Kingston upon Thames for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kingston upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the standard troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Coombe - Coombe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a road in Coombe. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not starting up and is making dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
