It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated going over the rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Springfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Essex well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Springfield (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the most common troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Springfield - Springfield Fuel Drain

Last friday a youngster contacted us because his Volkswagen stopped working along a street in Springfield. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
