It was before 7 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated going over the football, waiting for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Tarpots and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more job in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Essex we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
