Wrong fuel in your car in Dry Street? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you going once more with our expert fuel drain service.

It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the sports results, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Dry Street and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental in error. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Essex well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Essex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Dry Street (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They will fix the standard troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Dry Street - Dry Street Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful day hiking during my day off and felt contented the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple away in Dry Street. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Volvo, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady berating her man for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!
