It was about 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Boyton Cross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously never start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Boyton Cross (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the typical problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
