It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Sunnymede and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Essex done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Sunnymede (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Sunnymede - Sunnymede Wrong Fuel

Last friday a customer contacted us when his Toyota broke down in the middle of a street in Sunnymede. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel car and got so far as the road before being forced to stop. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
