It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated talking about the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Gainsford End and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT rental. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. A job in Essex well done in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely don't crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very easily.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Gainsford End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the standard troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
