It was about seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking about the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Broad Green and put petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
