It was before 6 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Southey Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Southey Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
