It was around five pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Ballards Gore and put petrol in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Essex well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Essex we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.
So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly quickly.
Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

They can also take care of any of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A lady from Ballards Gore with her kids in her diesel Chevrolet had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us weeping and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what would happen to her car . We reassured her that all should be alright and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."
