It was just after five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting discussing the weekend's golf results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Meesden and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Any time you get in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Meesden (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will fix the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
