It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in West Harrow and put petrol in a diesel Honda rental in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Harrow done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Harrow we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Harrow to take care of removing 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. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in West Harrow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Harrow Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue West Harrow - West Harrow Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman called us from his residence on a close in West Harrow. He explained, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not running and is creating very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
