Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Great Burstead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also fix any of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
