It was about 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Harrow on the Hill and put petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was no more than a few miles from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried. A job in Harrow done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Harrow we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Harrow to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Harrow on the Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Harrow Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will take care of the usual troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
