It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the football, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Eastend and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. A job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Eastend (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Eastend - Eastend Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman rang us from his residence on a street in Eastend. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not running and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
