It was just after ten pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Harlow and put petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Harlow (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Harlow - Harlow Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped just off a street in Harlow. His Land Rover motor had stopped running and he had no clue what was wrong until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
