Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Broxted (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
