It was close to seven pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting going over the rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Jockey End and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more job in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Jockey End (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the standard problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Jockey End - Jockey End Fuel Drain

A customer contacted us from his home on a road in Jockey End. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting and is generating terrible noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
