It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Great Berry and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Skoda Yeti hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex well done in my mind!

Out of Fuel Assistance
Run out of fuel in Great Berry (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the standard troubles that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Essex we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.
Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?
Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty quiet so far, and Ray and I were sitting about browsing a number of old magazines. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Essex. Actually it was that peaceful that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped! The voice explained: "I have only just ended my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in my bright red Peugeot 206". I got him to inform us where exactly the car was situated and we left, getting to him in Great Berry under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were returning home we noticed two young women at the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
