It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the next call to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Hammerfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hammerfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
