Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Little Clacton - Little Clacton Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Little Clacton. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their Smart, and were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Essex and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!
