Wrong Fuel Assist Ashingdon - Ashingdon Fuel Rescue

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen in Ashingdon. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and broken down along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I had just acquired it a short while back when my old car, which I used for over twenty five years, inevitably died". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful Essex woman!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously do not crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Ashingdon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Testimonies from our Ashingdon mechanics:

We carried out a wrong fuel removal job outside a lovely residence in Ashingdon a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was pretty late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Land Rover to everyone's satisfaction.

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was about. It had become pretty dead so far, and John and I were loafing around reading through some old papers. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Essex. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the phone stated: "I finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel Citroen in error". I instructed him to tell us just where the car was situated and we set off, ending up in Ashingdon only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for arriving so quickly. While we were coming back home we noticed two girls at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

A week ago a motorist telephoned us right after his Suzuki died on a road in Ashingdon. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before having to stop. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays close by, reached him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
