Wrong Fuel in Car Elmdon, Essex
Fuel Drain Elmdon - Elmdon Wrong Fuel Drain
What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall in Elmdon. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I had only got it a short while back because my former one, which I'd used for more than 25 years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Essex woman!

It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Elmdon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Specialties:
Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
Tank with undesired fuel - You may not wish petrol in your diesel tank but mishaps happen. You will notice some changes in the overall performance of your car such as chugging and stalling. An abnormal amount of smoke can be observed in the exhaust. Other problems may begin to show if this wrong fuel is not dealt with.
Water in car?s tank - The ideal way to get rid of the water in the tank is to flash it out or issues while the car is running will be noticed. These include engine to rev up, cough and splutter. Water contamination is not just common in boats. This can occur to vehicles too when the jerry cans are utilized to fill the tank with fuel. There is a possibility that these cans still have water in it and were included in refilling your car?s tank.
Adding AdBlue to your fuel tank - AdBlue contamination happens when you put AdBlue in your fuel tank, usually by accident. Car owners do not have sufficient knowledge about AdBlue. That's the reason why they are in this problem now. Unlike what many have stated that it is an additive, the reality is AdBlue is a liquid that helps minimizethe emission of harmful smoke in your exhaust and this must have a separate tank. A lot of people have been victims of this false belief and we have already fixed them quickly.
Red diesel added to your tank - Per AA, there are about 1500 garages that sell red diesel. However, there are not too many outlets of this red diesel, still, accident occurs. Red diesel may come into your tank unexpectedly. You may not observe that you have your tank filled with red diesel as you don?t have the full attention to what you are filling.
Old fuel unused for a long time - Another service we readily give is drainage of old fuel. People might believe that fuel can't go bad, that once stored it can last for many years on end, but that simply isn't true. Fuel degrades after a while. The more it has degraded the more damage it can probably cause on your engine. Do not be tricked if your car runs fine on degraded fuel. It is a disaster waiting to take place. Our team can stop that problem.
