It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the footy rankings, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Nazeing Gate and put petrol in her diesel Renault rental in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and less worried. One more fuel drain in Essex done well in my books!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Nazeing Gate (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of the standard troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
