A guy stopped on a street in Hatfield Garden Village required a fuel drain roughly a few weeks ago. His Skoda was stopped on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hatfield Garden Village (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will handle any of the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
