It was before six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the golf results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Longfield Hill and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Hackney well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hackney we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Hackney to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Longfield Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hackney Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to fix the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Longfield Hill - Longfield Hill Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a great day fishing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young family who were away in Longfield Hill. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their MG, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling off her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens all the time in Hackney and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
