It was just before five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there discussing the footy results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Hatfield Peverel and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my books!

Services We Provide:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mix of high-purity ionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue is definitely harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course don't start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty 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 enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Hatfield Peverel (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix the typical problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hatfield Peverel - Hatfield Peverel Wrong Fuel

I'd had a perfect evening golfing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in Hatfield Peverel. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Honda, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs all the time in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my missus would tell me if I made the exact same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!
