It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the footy rankings, ready for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Birds Green and put petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could find her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course do not start the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Birds Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the most common problems that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
