It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting there discussing the recent tennis results, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Neasden and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Brent done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Brent we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Brent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Neasden (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Brent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Neasden - Neasden Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out off a street in Neasden. His Fiat car had stopped running and he'd no idea what was wrong till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
