It was around five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent football, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Cole Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus hire car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Richmond upon Thames well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not knowing how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Cole Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Richmond upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cole Park - Cole Park Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out near a road in Cole Park. His Lexus motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
