It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing going over the tennis rankings, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Cowley and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another job in Hillingdon done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hillingdon we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Hillingdon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Cowley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hillingdon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the standard issues that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Cowley - Cowley Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Cowley. His Volkswagen engine had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
