We're only a telephone call away.

It was before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Blackheath and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Blackheath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Blackheath - Blackheath Wrong Fuel

The other day a driver telephoned us soon after his Jaguar stopped working along a road in Blackheath. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before needing to pull up. It was really early in the day and our technician, who stays locally, was with him in less than fifteen minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
