It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were resting there going over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Walton on the Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Hounslow well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hounslow we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Hounslow for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Walton on the Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Hounslow Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
