It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Kingswood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Kingswood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
