It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Bowers Gifford and put petrol in her diesel Skoda rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Another job in Essex done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Essex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.
