It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Woodlands and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover lease car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen.

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hounslow we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Woodlands - Woodlands Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were away in Woodlands. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Audi, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her partner for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Hounslow and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I shouted so long and considered what my missus would do to me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
