Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Essex we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.
Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly simply.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Recent Fuel Drains in Leigh-on-Sea
Some stories:
Now I'm not necessarily excessively keen on doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after having a magnificent dinner cooked by the missus, and I was off to sort out a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his Jaguar. He was situated in Leigh-on-Sea thus I was there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on other things and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any damage through running it?" I said that there should not be any damage and also I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so another pleased client had the ability to continue their ride without the need for difficulty. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what tends to make operating on weekends in Essex just that small bit less painful in my opinion!
