It was around seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's golf, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Maggots End and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my books!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
