It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Broxted and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Essex well done in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Broxted (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Broxted - Broxted Fuel Removal

I'd had a wonderful day golfing on my holiday and felt pleased the following morning as I set off to help a young couple away in Broxted. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their Ford, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this takes place on a regular basis in Essex and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
