It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Woodcote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and not so stressed. Yet another job in Richmond upon Thames well done in my mind!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Richmond upon Thames to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Woodcote (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Richmond upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the usual issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
