It was around eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the recent golf rankings, prepared for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Lea Bridge and put petrol in her diesel MINI lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Hackney done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hackney we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly never start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Hackney for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lea Bridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Hackney Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lea Bridge - Lea Bridge Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a perfect afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Lea Bridge. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Smart, and they were about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for being so silly. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens constantly in Hackney and that it is nothing at all to worry about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved so long and thought about what my missus would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
