Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in St Osyth

If you've put the completely wrong fuel in your car and right now have to have a fuel drain you are probably scanning the net looking for a rapid, dependable, competent and reasonably priced fuel drain company in St Osyth or Essex. We are the contractor to help you!

It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the sports results, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in St Osyth and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of 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 an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in St Osyth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain St Osyth - St Osyth Wrong Fuel Doctor

A guy had broken down just near a road in St Osyth. His Fiat motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.
