It was just before eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Hawkspur Green and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady right away.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Hawkspur Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle.
