Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upper Walthamstow and put petrol in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kingston upon Thames we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned 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 get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Upper Walthamstow (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kingston upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the usual troubles that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Walthamstow - Upper Walthamstow Wrong Fuel Assist

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3 in the morning and noone was around. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading a few old newspapers. It was an unusual restful moment in Kingston upon Thames. It was indeed so calm that when my mobile finally rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I have ended my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in my diesel SEAT by mistake". I asked him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Upper Walthamstow under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. While we were going back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.
