It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were seated there discussing the recent golf, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Fulham and filled petrol in her diesel MG rental car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Hammersmith done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hammersmith we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Hammersmith to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Fulham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hammersmith Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car. They will handle any of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
