It was about 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Starlings Green and put petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more job in Essex done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Starlings Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Starlings Green - Starlings Green Fuel Drain

A person contacted us from his home on a street in Starlings Green. He said, "My car (a Honda) is not starting up and is producing terrible noises when I flip the ignition."

We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
