We were on scene in 15 minutes since our technician was in neighbouring Seawick and had done a fuel drain.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Seawick (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Seawick - Seawick Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had stopped off a road in Seawick. His Land Rover engine had ceased working and he'd no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
