It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing going over the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Rickling and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Rickling (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
