It was after seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting there commenting on the recent golf results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Spring Grove and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly can happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hounslow we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case 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 the practical expertise and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and business properties in Hounslow to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Wrong Fuel Drain Spring Grove - Spring Grove Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation in Spring Grove. They'd stopped after putting diesel in their Mazda, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass on daily basis in Hounslow and that it is nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
