It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the recent rugby, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in South Ruislip and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Hillingdon done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hillingdon we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain South Ruislip - South Ruislip Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a wonderful day cycling during my day off and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I set out to aid a young family on holiday in South Ruislip. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Mercedes, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place all the time in Hillingdon and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
