It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the sports results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in North Kensington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kensington and Chelsea we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly don't crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Kensington and Chelsea to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.
