It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! James and me were relaxing commenting on the tennis results, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Harmondsworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Hillingdon done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hillingdon we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Hillingdon to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Harmondsworth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hillingdon Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will fix any of the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
