These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Essex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Thorpe Bay (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They can also handle any of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
