It was around 10 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated there talking over the tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kingston Upon Thames and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental car. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we could reach her fairly quickly.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kingston upon Thames we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the back of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Kingston upon Thames to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Kingston Upon Thames (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Kingston upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also fix the most common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
