It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby, ready for the next job that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Stebbing Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental in error. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stebbing Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Stebbing Green - Stebbing Green Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Stebbing Green. His MINI car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
