Wrong Fuel Assist Wivenhoe - Wivenhoe Wrong Fuel Doctor

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet in Wivenhoe. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had just acquired it a week back right after my old car, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, finally died". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Essex lady!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wivenhoe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Doctor Wivenhoe - Wivenhoe Wrong Fuel

The other day a driver called us just after his Audi stopped on a street in Wivenhoe. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and drove to the road before having to pull up. It was really early in the morning and our technician, who stays locally, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."

All of our technicians are trained on the most current automobiles and their fuel systems. We participate in more than 6 thousand wrong fuel removals each year in the UK (indeed, there are that many people today who also make the mistake - you aren't on your own). Our lines are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Our technical engineers are available whenever you require them.


Recent Fuel Drains in Wivenhoe

Some of the routine stories we hear from the engineers in Wivenhoe:

It must be horrible breaking down in a automobile filled with the incorrect fuel on the road. One of our last customers who put the incorrect fuel in her car (Nissan) in Wivenhoe endured precisely this kind of difficulty: "You probably know that I erroneously filled my petrol car with diesel a few days ago. I was so troubled about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. But I didn't need to worry seeing that you were terrific in fixing it."

Fuel Drain Wivenhoe - Wivenhoe Fuel Removal

A lady from Wivenhoe with a full car of children in her diesel Smart had put £20 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fuelled previously and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We told her that all would be fine and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones on board."

Wrong Fuel Drain Wivenhoe - Wivenhoe Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a great evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family holidaying in Wivenhoe. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their SEAT, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation occurs continuously in Essex and that it's nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and considered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
