We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
