Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

Fuel Rescue Commonwood - Commonwood Fuel Removal

A gentleman phoned us from his place on a street in Commonwood. He exclaimed, "My car (a Jaguar) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
