The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Essex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.
