It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent footy rankings, ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hexton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find her right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hexton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hexton - Hexton Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Hexton. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I made the same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
