Paul and me were relaxing talking about the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Stanmore and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Harrow we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical know-how and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Harrow to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
