It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Hook and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen.

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hook - Hook Fuel Drain

I had a perfect evening hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Hook. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their SEAT, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the wife berating her man for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation occurs on daily basis in Kingston upon Thames and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
