It was after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting going over the rugby, ready for the 8th call to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Harlow and filled petrol in her diesel BMW hire car. She was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Essex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

We will get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
