It was after six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Rotchfords and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Essex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Rotchfords (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the common issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
