It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's rugby, prepared for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in South Hackney and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and much less anxious. Another job in Croydon done well in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Croydon to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in South Hackney (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They can also handle any of the normal problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel South Hackney - South Hackney Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young family on vacation in South Hackney. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their Volvo, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on quite frequently in Croydon and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
