It was about 9 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Wattons Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way 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 prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Wattons Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wattons Green - Wattons Green Fuel Rescue

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling on my off day and felt delighted the following day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Wattons Green. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Porsche, and were about half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on everyday in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
