We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Monday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel cream Jaguar XJ Series in South Stifford.

I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Essex woman!

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.
