It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Grove Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Hounslow done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hounslow we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course do not start the car - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Hounslow to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Grove Park (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Hounslow Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home.
