It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting there commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Coggeshall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with 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 fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Coggeshall (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A man rang us from his house on a street in Coggeshall. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
