It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Dassels and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. A job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Dassels (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will fix any of the typical issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
