It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there going over the recent golf results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Southend-on-Sea and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental in error. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s composed of a mixture of deionized water and urea.It tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Take note that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Southend-on-Sea (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the 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 fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
