We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Abberton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A week ago a gentleman phoned us because his Peugeot broke down on a street in Abberton. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel car and got as far as the road before having to stop. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."

It can't be fun breaking down in a vehicle with the wrong fuel on the road. We had a customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (Vauxhall) in Abberton had precisely that type of dilemma: "You probably know that I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car recently. I was so stressed about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. Nevertheless I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were fantastic in draining and cleaning my car."

Fuel Removal Abberton - Abberton Fuel Drain

A customer working in Abberton contacted us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fuelled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet and, like countless prior to her, believed that she could basically top up the vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my vehicle."
