It was about ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent footy rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Ashtead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. Yet another job in Hounslow well done in my books!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hounslow we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Hounslow to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ashtead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hounslow Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also fix the standard troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
