Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Basildon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Basildon - Basildon Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple on holiday in Basildon. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their Ford, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her man off for being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs everyday in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Basildon

Reports from our Basildon technicians:

We fairly recently got a call about a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his Porsche in Basildon. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "It was amazing how rapid you people were in having somebody out to assist me after I stupidly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thanks". As you can imagine we arrived punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. The client was pleased as punch by the time we finished and he was able to drive off satisfied and content.

Petrol in Diesel Basildon - Basildon Wrong Fuel Doctor

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was about 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly quiet so far, and Ray and I were loafing looking at some old newspapers. It was a rare calm time in Essex. It was indeed that calm that the moment the telephone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I've just finished my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my Skoda by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we left, ending up in Basildon no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were heading back home we saw two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.
