A gentleman conked out on a road in Brentwood required a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His Suzuki was stuck roadside after he had misfueled.

We arrived in a quarter-hour since our drainer was in nearby Brentwood and had just concluded his previous job. He said, "I just don't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck ! My vehicle was chugging I needed to stop and then it just conked."

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

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

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Brentwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle any of the normal issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Brentwood - Brentwood Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a young man called us just after his Lexus ground to a halt along a road in Brentwood. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and managed to drive so far as the street before needing to halt. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, arrived with him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
