It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated going over the recent tennis results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Helions Bumpstead and filled petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly.

Provided Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Helions Bumpstead (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the standard troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
