I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Althorne

Some of the more usual examples we come across from many of our engineers in Althorne:

We were contacted by a man whose Ford had conked out on a road after a misfuel. "I mixed up the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car in error. These guys came out and resolved the issue right after my car gave up." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly and the customer could then proceed with his deliveries.

Fuel Drain Althorne - Althorne Fuel Rescue

A lady from Althorne with a full car of little ones in her diesel Fiat had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the service station. She called us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be okay and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
