It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Catmere End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and much less anxious. A job in Essex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Catmere End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
