It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the weekend's football, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Dollis Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. A fuel drain in Brent done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Brent we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Brent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Dollis Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Brent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Dollis Hill - Dollis Hill Wrong Fuel

A customer had conked out just off a road in Dollis Hill. His Volvo car had stopped running and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that could have been why.
