It was around five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were seated there talking over the weekend's football results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Chafford Hundred and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Essex done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Chafford Hundred (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also deal with the normal troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
