Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite simply.

You should know that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Essex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hornestreet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the usual troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Now I am not necessarily that keen on working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just left home after a wonderful dinner made for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he filled the incorrect petrol in his Peugeot. He was located in Hornestreet thus I was there soon. As I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I had my mind on other things and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of damage through running it?" I said there shouldn't be any harm and that I would get the fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus one more delighted client had the ability to continue his travelling without the need for difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make working on Sundays in Essex just that little bit easier for me!

Fuel Drain Hornestreet - Hornestreet Petrol in Diesel

A customer from Hornestreet with her children in her diesel Ford had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Co Op filling station. She contacted us crying and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

It was actually in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, got to him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
