It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were sitting going over the football, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Herongate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Herongate (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Herongate - Herongate Wrong Fuel Doctor

I appreciated a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and felt satisfied the following working day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were vacationing in Herongate. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Audi, and they were close to half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place frequently in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
