It was about six pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's football, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Malden Rushett and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Richmond upon Thames done well in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Richmond upon Thames to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Fuel Removal Malden Rushett - Malden Rushett Fuel Rescue

I'd had a great evening golfing on my off day and felt contented the following working day as I was en route to help a new family on vacation in Malden Rushett. They pulled over after adding diesel into their Smart, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs continuously in Richmond upon Thames and that it's truly nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
