It was around 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Charlton and filled petrol in her diesel Audi hire car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Charlton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Charlton - Charlton Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking during my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Charlton. They had broken down after putting petrol in their Citroen, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady berating her spouse for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!
