It was close to 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing going over the footy, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Old Ford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly.

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Kingston upon Thames to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Old Ford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Kingston upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up the car. They will take care of any of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Old Ford - Old Ford Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a terrific afternoon cycling on my day off and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family on holiday in Old Ford. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Toyota, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in Kingston upon Thames and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
