It was about five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Kilburn and put petrol in a diesel Porsche lease car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Brent done well in my books!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Brent we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Brent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Kilburn (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Brent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the most common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Kilburn - Kilburn Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer contacted us from his house on a road in Kilburn. He pronounced, "My car (a Citroen) is not running and is generating terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
