Fuel Removal Rickling Green - Rickling Green Fuel Drain
Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Land Rover in Rickling Green. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just acquired it a few days ago when my former car, which I had for over 25 years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Essex lady!

It was just after six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining!

Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Rickling Green and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly.

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Essex we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather simply.
Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

I am not actually overly enthusiastic about doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just left the family after a magnificent roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman because he filled the wrong fuel in his Lexus. He was located in Rickling Green hence it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted problems simply by starting it?" I stated that truth be told there probably should not be problems and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so yet another delighted customer had the ability to carry on with his travelling without any subsequent difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what helps make earning a living on weekends in Essex just that little bit better for me personally!
