Fuel Removal Shacklewell - Shacklewell Vehicle Misfuel
Just had a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Kia in Shacklewell. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a country road along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd just acquired it a short while back right after my previous car, which I'd owned for more than thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Hackney woman!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Hackney we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.
Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Stories from our own Shacklewell staff:
Now I am certainly not overly interested in doing work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the family following a wonderful lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a man after he filled the incorrect fuel in his Fiat. He was only in Shacklewell therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on stuff and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any kind of harm by starting it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be any harm and also I would get the fuel drained immediately. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and another content customer was able to continue on his journey without any hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what makes operating on Sundays in Hackney a tiny bit easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel in Car Shacklewell - Shacklewell Fuel Rescue
A lady from Shacklewell with a full car of kids in her diesel Smart had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the BP filling station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the car should be ok and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children on board."
