It was close to ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Sherrardspark and put petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And of course do not start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Sherrardspark (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will deal with the common problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Sherrardspark - Sherrardspark Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were vacationing in Sherrardspark. They broken down after inserting petrol in their Porsche, and the car was about an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in Hertfordshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved goodbye and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
