It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in North Stifford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. The poor thing was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things often happen.

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in North Stifford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
