Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely never start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Handley Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A lady driving in Handley Green called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she would be able to just fill her car with diesel and it would be alright. The car was coughing and then it died when she got to the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in an hour or so while she was at the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you sorted my vehicle."

He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car however believed he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top.
