We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Essex we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Essex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Tollesbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
