Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.
