Before long we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Bakers End and filled petrol in a diesel Renault lease car. She was very agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen.

Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Bakers End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will fix any of the normal troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
