AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hockley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
