Our Fields of Expertise:
Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Essex we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.
So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.
Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.
Re-Fueling Assistance
Run out of fuel in Maldon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to fix the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Fuel Rescue Maldon - Maldon Wrong Fuel in Car
Last friday a youngster telephoned us when his Volkswagen died on a road in Maldon. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel car and drove so far as the road before needing to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Maldon
Some reports:
We fairly recently had a phone call from a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his Citroen in Maldon. He had conked out on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament until we broke down. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and got it running . I was pleased due to both how quick you were and your rates". Needless to say we got there rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank. The driver was over the moon by the time we were done and he went away cheerful.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and noone was about. It was rather dead thus far, and me and Paul were relaxing reading a number of old articles. It was a rare quiet hour in Essex. It was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the Suzuki by mistake". We instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we left, ending up in Maldon only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine and he said many thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we found two ladies on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.
Fuel Removal Maldon - Maldon Wrong Fuel Assist
I had appreciated a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Maldon. They had conked out after filling petrol in their Toyota, and were about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman berating her partner for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem happens quite frequently in Essex and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
