It was after seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting commenting on the recent football results, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Hook and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kingston upon Thames we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Kingston upon Thames to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Hook (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kingston upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hook - Hook Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful day fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple away in Hook. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Kia, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her man off for actually being so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs all the time in Kingston upon Thames and that it's nothing at all to stress about, however he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
