AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Great Clacton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
