This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Rickling (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to fix the usual problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Rickling - Rickling Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple who were vacationing in Rickling. They had broken down after adding petrol in their Suzuki, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife chastising her man for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place all the time in Essex and that it's nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
