It was about eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the football results, ready for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Cowley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Hillingdon well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hillingdon we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Hillingdon to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Cowley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Hillingdon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cowley - Cowley Wrong Fuel in Car

The other day a man telephoned us right after his Volvo died in the middle of a street in Cowley. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel car and got as far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
