It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Kilburn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. A job in Brent well done in my books!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Brent we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Brent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Kilburn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Brent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with the usual issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Kilburn - Kilburn Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had conked out just off a road in Kilburn. His Mitsubishi car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
