It was after 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the football, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Thames Ditton and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Another job in Ealing done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Ealing we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Ealing for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.
