Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Essex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Great Burstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will fix any of the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
