These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Great Easton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
