It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there discussing the weekend's footy, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Great Bromley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Fiat lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. A job in Essex done well in my opinion!

We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.
You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Great Bromley
Now I'm not necessarily overly keen on doing the job weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a fellow after he had filled the wrong fuel in his cobalt blue Ford Focus. He was stationed in Great Bromley and so I arrived on scene rapidly. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and did not grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems by simply starting it?" I stated there probably should not be problems and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus yet another pleased client was able to carry on with his trip without the need for bother. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Essex that little easier for me personally!

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It had been fairly dead so far, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a few old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Essex. It was indeed so relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice stated: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Peugeot 306 in error". I told him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Great Bromley not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back to base we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much to their elation.
