It was before 9 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the sports results, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bocking and filled petrol in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could get to her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Bocking (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They will handle any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bocking - Bocking Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man rang us from his home on a close in Bocking. He pronounced, "My car (a Porsche) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
