It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were resting there going over the sports, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Epsom and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and less worried. A job in Hounslow done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hounslow we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Hounslow to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Epsom (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Hounslow Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with the normal problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Epsom - Epsom Fuel Removal

A customer called us from his house on a road in Epsom. He pronounced, "My car (a Nissan) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
