It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Hampton Wick and put petrol in her diesel BMW rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. One more job in Richmond upon Thames well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s composed of a blend of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.
