It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Lea Bridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG rental in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less worried. Another job in Hackney done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hackney we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Hackney to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lea Bridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hackney Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They can also take care of the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
