It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Epsom and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. Another job in Hounslow done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hounslow we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Hounslow for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Epsom (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hounslow Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Epsom - Epsom Fuel Drain

I had a great evening cycling on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Epsom. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and the car was close to half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem goes on on daily basis in Hounslow and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
