We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.
