Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned 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 legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Greenstead Green (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
