It was around five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the footy results, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in South Ruislip and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover lease car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Hillingdon done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hillingdon we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hillingdon for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in South Ruislip (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hillingdon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They can also take care of any of the usual troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor South Ruislip - South Ruislip Fuel Drain

I had a terrific afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling contented the next day as I set off to aid a new family holidaying in South Ruislip. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their Land Rover, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Hillingdon and that it's nothing at all to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
