It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting talking over the rugby, ready for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Perry Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Chrysler Voyager lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
