It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Leigh-on-Sea and put petrol in a diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance from our van, we could get to the lady right away.

Our Services:
Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Essex we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.
Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very simply.
Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Essex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.
Re-Fueling Support
Out of fuel in Leigh-on-Sea (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Leigh-on-Sea - Leigh-on-Sea Petrol in Diesel
Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel Ford in Leigh-on-Sea. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only just bought it a week back right after my previous car, which I had owned for more than 25 years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Leigh-on-Sea - Leigh-on-Sea Fuel Removal
A driver from Leigh-on-Sea with a full car of kids in her diesel Mitsubishi had put £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She phoned us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that everything should be alright and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the little ones on board."
