It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports results, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Norwood End and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Essex well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Essex we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Norwood End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the standard troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Norwood End - Norwood End Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had broken down just off a street in Norwood End. His Renault motor had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
