It was before five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the football, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Roundbush Green and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Roundbush Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They will deal with any of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Roundbush Green - Roundbush Green Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a terrific day hiking on the weekend and felt satisfied the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Roundbush Green. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in Essex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if I made the exact same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
