It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Stanford-le-Hope and put petrol in a diesel MG rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my books!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stanford-le-Hope (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Stanford-le-Hope. He said, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is making dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car however imagined he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel.
