We're only a phone call away.

It was close to seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the golf, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in East Bedfont and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Hounslow well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hounslow we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Hounslow to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in East Bedfont (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hounslow Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with the standard issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
