It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing talking over the recent football rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Southend-on-Sea and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Essex well done in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.
AdBlue Contamination
In Essex we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite simply.
Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Essex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southend-on-Sea - Southend-on-Sea Vehicle Misfuel
I had appreciated a perfect day hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Southend-on-Sea. They'd conked out after filling petrol into their Hyundai, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place all the time in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I did the same thing... I would never live it down!

A teenager who had only just got his licence had wrong fuelled his Nissan by getting petrol in his diesel car at the service station near Southend-on-Sea. He said, "This is the third occasion I have put fuel in my car from the time when I purchased it and I have no idea of how to handle it." He was worried since his dad had just recently paid for the car. He found us on the web and so called it without delay, worried about what he should do.

A gentleman who had sadly put petrol in his diesel MG phoned us for help at the Tesco petrol station in Southend-on-Sea. He thought it would be good to fill up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which unfortunately wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our vacation."
