We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Drain Frinton and Walton - Frinton and Walton Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a perfect afternoon cycling during my day off and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Frinton and Walton. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs all the time in Essex and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he still had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
