It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Abridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Another job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
