It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there talking over the recent golf rankings, ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Jaspers Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Essex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Jaspers Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle any of the normal troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
