It was around ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Chigwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Cadillac Brougham rental by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination
All around Essex we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.
Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?
Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
If you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Chigwell
Now I'm not ever so inclined to running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids following a superb lunch cooked for us by the better half, and I was off to assist a man who had put the wrong fuel in his light blue Ford Transit Connect. He was situated in Chigwell so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any harm simply by driving it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more happy motorist had the ability to continue on their ride without the need for difficulty. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Essex that little better in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Chigwell - Fuel Rescue Chigwell
This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had been fairly quiet until now, and Ryan and I were loafing about looking at several old magazines. It was an uncommon tranquil time in Essex. Actually it was indeed that quiet that when my mobile rang I leaped! The customer on the phone told me: "I've just concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in a apple green Peugeot Partner". I got him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, getting to him in Chigwell half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their delight.
