It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the rugby results, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Epping Upland and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we could get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Epping Upland (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Epping Upland - Epping Upland Petrol in Diesel

A customer had stopped just near a street in Epping Upland. His Volkswagen motor had stopped working and he'd no idea what was awry till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
