AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Essex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Coggeshall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
