It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the footy results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in East Horndon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank lying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
