It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the footy, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Sibleys Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault hire car in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. A fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Petrol in Diesel Sibleys Green - Sibleys Green Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out off a street in Sibleys Green. His Hyundai engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
