It was just after five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the next job to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in West Kensington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental. The unfortunate lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Hammersmith and Fulham done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hammersmith and Fulham we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Hammersmith and Fulham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in West Kensington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Hammersmith and Fulham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the normal issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
