It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were resting talking over the rugby, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Canvey Island and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Canvey Island (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the common issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Canvey Island - Canvey Island Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific evening fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful the next working day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Canvey Island. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Mercedes, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem happens on a regular basis in Essex and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
