It was around eight pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated discussing the weekend's football results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Stambourne Green and filled petrol in her diesel MINI hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Essex well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Essex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stambourne Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stambourne Green - Stambourne Green Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a driver telephoned us soon after his SEAT stopped on a street in Stambourne Green. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and was only able to get to the street before needing to pull over. It was really early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
