Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Broxted, Essex

Wrong Fuel Broxted - Broxted Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a great afternoon hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Broxted. They conked out after putting diesel into their Toyota, and the car was close to an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on all the time in Essex and that it's actually nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would tell me if ever I made the same error... I'd never live it down!
