Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Essex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bicknacre (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They can also deal with the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Bicknacre - Bicknacre Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great evening hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Bicknacre. They pulled over after adding diesel in their Suzuki, and were about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her man off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass continuously in Essex and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove away I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
