It was about 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Ruislip and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hillingdon we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Hillingdon 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 safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ruislip (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hillingdon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
