Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Braughing Friars (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
