Our Fields of Specialties:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hemel Hempstead (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

A person rang us from his house on a road in Hemel Hempstead. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said he would be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.


Recent Fuel Drains in Hemel Hempstead

Stories from our Hemel Hempstead employees:

A youngster who had only passed his driving test had misfueled his Fiat by putting petrol in the diesel at the service station in Hemel Hempstead. He said, "This is only the second time I have put fuel in my vehicle since I bought it and I have no clue of what to do." He was also worried because his dad had just recently paid for the car. He came across our company on the web and so called it without delay, worried about what he ought to do. Our individual on the call told him that we could be on scene inside forty-five minutes and to not touch his car while he waited. We did the drain on his car and he stated how impressed he was that it was addressed so swiftly and no consequence whatsoever.

Vehicle Misfuel Hemel Hempstead - Hemel Hempstead Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel Renault phoned us for a fuel drain at the Esso filling station in Hemel Hempstead. He decided to fill up before going on to the local recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which wasn't a smart start to our holiday break." It was absolutely no trouble by any means for our technician to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good vacation.

Fuel Removal Hemel Hempstead - Hemel Hempstead Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a terrific day hiking on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Hemel Hempstead. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Peugeot, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem comes to pass on daily basis in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
