It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there talking about the golf rankings, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Chafford Hundred and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental. The unfortunate thing was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Chafford Hundred (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Chafford Hundred - Chafford Hundred Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had stopped just off a street in Chafford Hundred. His MG car had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
