We're merely a call away.

It was just after six pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting discussing the recent golf, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Mill Meads and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Redbridge well done in my opinion!

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Redbridge we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Should you end up in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may well produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

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

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Redbridge to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of fuel in Mill Meads (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Redbridge Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to handle the typical issues that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Mill Meads - Mill Meads Fuel Drain

A week ago a gentleman called us just after his Toyota broke down in the middle of a road in Mill Meads. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, was with him in about 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."
