Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hoddesdon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hoddesdon - Hoddesdon Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Hoddesdon. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their Land Rover, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this takes place all the time in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Poor guy. At any rate, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I would never hear the end of it!
