Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist London Colney - Wrong Fuel in Car London Colney

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt satisfied the next morning as I set out to help a young family on holiday in London Colney. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their mum's Austin Mini Cooper S, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation occurs quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and wondered what my wife would say to me if I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. 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.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
