It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there talking over the footy results, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Harmondsworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Hillingdon done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hillingdon we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Hillingdon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Harmondsworth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hillingdon Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Harmondsworth - Harmondsworth Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a close in Harmondsworth. He explained, "My car (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is producing terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however believed he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
