We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations pretty quickly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB10 Postcode - Ashdon Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Wednesday and I was off to assist an old woman after she had put petrol in her diesel husband's VW Eurovan in Ashdon. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had just got it a week back when my other car, which I owned for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Essex woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
