It was about 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting discussing the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Upper Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water.Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Upper Green - Upper Green Fuel Removal

A gentleman had stopped off a road in Upper Green. His Lexus engine had ceased working and he'd no idea what was faulty until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
