It was after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting there discussing the sports, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Wivenhoe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen lease car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Essex we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Any time you discover youself to be in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite expediently.
Remember however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains

Wrong Fuel Drain Wivenhoe - Wivenhoe Fuel Drain
A lady from Wivenhoe with a full car of little ones in her diesel MG had put £45 of petrol at the Shell service station. She phoned us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car . We told her that all would be okay and that she would be up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones on board."
