Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hellmans Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hellmans Cross - Hellmans Cross Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a fantastic day hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to help a young couple away in Hellmans Cross. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their Dacia, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Essex and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked.

Fuel Removal Hellmans Cross - Hellmans Cross Fuel Removal

I had a terrific evening cycling on my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in Hellmans Cross. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their Skoda, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on everyday in Essex and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor guy. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
