It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Greenstead Green and put petrol in her diesel Porsche rental car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Essex done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Greenstead Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Greenstead Green - Greenstead Green Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect evening hiking during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Greenstead Green. They conked out after filling diesel into their Suzuki, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in Essex and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Poor lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
