It was before eight pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Hayes and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more job in Hillingdon done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hillingdon we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Hillingdon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hayes (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Hillingdon Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hayes - Hayes Fuel Removal

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a street in Hayes. He explained, "My car (a MG) is not starting and is producing terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
