It was after five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Wickham Bishops and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Wickham Bishops (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the typical problems which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
