Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Fuel Removal Great Oakley - Great Oakley Wrong Fuel Assist

I enjoyed a great day fishing on my off day and was feeling contented the next day as I was on the way to help a young family away in Great Oakley. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Porsche, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Essex and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
