It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Chelsea and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car. The poor thing was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. One more job in Chelsea well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Chelsea we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Chelsea to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Chelsea (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Chelsea Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will handle any of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
