It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in New Thundersley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Essex done well in my books!

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases very expediently.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in New Thundersley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car New Thundersley - New Thundersley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer had conked out off a street in New Thundersley. His MINI motor had stopped running and he'd no clue what was wrong till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
