It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, waiting for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Belvedere and put petrol in her diesel Ford hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Hackney done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hackney we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Hackney for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Belvedere (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hackney Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Belvedere - Belvedere Vehicle Misfuel

A customer rang us from his place on a street in Belvedere. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
