This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Harpenden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the most common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
