It was close to eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Eastbury and put petrol in her diesel Kia hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Harrow well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Harrow we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Harrow for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Eastbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Harrow Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They will fix the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
