Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Shotgate (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They can also deal with the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
