It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the tennis, ready for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Seething Wells and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kingston upon Thames we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kingston upon Thames to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Seething Wells - Seething Wells Petrol in Diesel

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays nearby, was with him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
