It was around six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Peartree Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Peartree Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
