Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.
