It was just after five pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Brentford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Hounslow done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hounslow we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely do not crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Hounslow to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Brentford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Hounslow Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with the most common problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
