It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Campions and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Campions (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also take care of the most common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
