Petrol in your diesel car in Greenwoods? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you driving once again with our expert fuel drain services.

It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Greenwoods and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI hire car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Essex well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Greenwoods (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
