If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Hook (incorrect fuel Hook) we are the professionals you need to speak to. We cover the whole of the Hook area and all adjacent zones.

It was around six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Hook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and less stressed. A fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in the event that you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a mixture of urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
