It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing going over the weekend's sports, ready for the 6th job to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Highfields and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure area and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Another job in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Highfields (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
