It was around six pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Hare Green and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to her right away.

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close 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 completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hare Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hare Green - Hare Green Wrong Fuel

A customer rang us from his home on a close in Hare Green. He explained, "My car (a Kia) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
