It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Counters End and filled petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. A job in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

Our service is fully mobile and we can come out no matter exactly where you are and have the automobile drained, cleaned and working once more in no time - and for a reasonable price!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Counters End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the standard troubles which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Counters End - Counters End Wrong Fuel

A customer phoned us from his residence on a close in Counters End. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car however believed he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
