It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the sports results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Malden Rushett and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another job in Richmond upon Thames done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Richmond upon Thames we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it.
