It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and me were resting talking about the recent sports, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Gilston Park and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things do happen.

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically 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 an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Gilston Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gilston Park - Gilston Park Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a great day hiking on my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Gilston Park. They broken down after adding petrol in their Lexus, and were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass everyday in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
