AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will likely bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Watch House Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the usual troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Watch House Green - Watch House Green Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a terrific day golfing during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were on vacation in Watch House Green. They had conked out after putting diesel into their Fiat, and they were about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Essex and that it is nothing to worry about, however he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
