It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated going over the golf results, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Borley Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Essex done well in my books!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Borley Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of the standard troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Borley Green - Borley Green Fuel Removal

A man had broken down off a street in Borley Green. His Ford engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
