It was just after six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking over the football results, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Southminster and put petrol in a diesel MINI lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southminster - Southminster Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a perfect day hiking on my off day and felt contented the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple vacationing in Southminster. They broken down after filling petrol in their Citroen, and they were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs frequently in Essex and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Petrol in Diesel Southminster - Southminster Fuel Drain

A customer from Southminster with a full car of children in her diesel Peugeot had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us weeping and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."
