Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Epping and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car!

Services We Give:
Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Essex we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly easily.
Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Support
Run out of fuel in Epping (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They can also handle any of the standard troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
Petrol in Diesel Epping - Epping Petrol in Diesel
I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing on my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I was en route to aid a young family who were away in Epping. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their Dacia, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal berating her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Essex and that it's nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

We got a phone call from a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his BMW in Epping. He had broken down on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the predicament until we conked out. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it working once again. I was happy due to both how quick you were and your value for money". Needless to say we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank.
