It was just after 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth job that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Crawley End and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota lease car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Essex we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.
So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.
Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel container at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Essex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Crawley End
Stories from our own Crawley End staff:
I'm not ever that enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just departed home filled with a lovely Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his Audi. He was somewhere in Crawley End therefore I arrived there very quickly. As I arrived at the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any damage by simply driving it?" I explained generally there shouldn't be harm and that also I'd drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and so one more pleased motorist was able to carry on with his journey with no fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make operating on Sundays in Essex just that little bit better for me personally!
Fuel Drain Crawley End - Crawley End Petrol in Diesel
This really was the night shift. It was about dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had been quite dead up to now, and Ray and I were relaxing looking at a few old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet time in Essex. It was in fact so quiet that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone said: "I concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel Fiat by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we set off, ending up in Crawley End less than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. While we were returning to the office we saw two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.
