Services We Offer:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Essex we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
