Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
