It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing talking over the sports results, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Box Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus lease car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Hounslow done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hounslow we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Hounslow for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Box Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Hounslow Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with the usual troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Box Hill

A few of the usual examples we see from many of our employees in Box Hill:

I'm not necessarily that enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the family after having a magnificent Sunday roast made by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a guy who filled the incorrect fuel in his Dacia. He was somewhere in Box Hill hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any problems because of running it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be problems and that I would personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another delighted motorist was able to continue their trip without any hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Hounslow that little better for me personally!
