It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Queensbury and filled petrol in a diesel Smart hire car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living in.

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Harrow we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Harrow for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Queensbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Harrow Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
