It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bobbingworth and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive.

Services We Provide:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Bobbingworth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bobbingworth - Bobbingworth Wrong Fuel Drain

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around sunrise and nobody was around. It had been rather dead until now, and Ryan and I were sitting about reading through several old papers. This was an unusual calm time in Essex. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the phone told me: "I've completed my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a Suzuki". I got him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Bobbingworth under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thanks a lot for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back home we saw two women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.
