Our Areas of Competency :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Essex we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Steventon End (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They can also take care of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
