It was before seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in South Hackney and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Croydon well done in my mind!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s made out of a mix of urea and ionized water.It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Croydon to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

We're able to get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Fuel Drain South Hackney - South Hackney Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from South Hackney to say he had stupidly pumped petrol in to his diesel Land Rover. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took the engineer about fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He meticulously purged the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the work properly completed.
