It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and me were seated there going over the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Great Waltham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in Essex well done in my books!

Services We Give:

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Great Waltham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Great Waltham - Great Waltham Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had conked out just off a road in Great Waltham. His Jaguar motor had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little rest the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
