It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Brentford and put petrol in her diesel Volvo rental car. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we could get to her right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hounslow we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having 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. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.

Fuel Drain Brentford - Brentford Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a young couple holidaying in Brentford. They had broken down after putting diesel in their Jaguar, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass everyday in Hounslow and that it's nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
