It was about six pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated there commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting around for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Surbiton and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes hire car in error. She was very distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Kingston upon Thames well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made of a mixture of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Kingston upon Thames to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Surbiton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kingston upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will handle the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Surbiton - Surbiton Wrong Fuel Assist

I appreciated a fantastic evening fishing during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Surbiton. They had conked out after putting petrol in their Nissan, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Kingston upon Thames and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
