It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing going over the sports, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Wallington and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at.

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us 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 even several drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Wallington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a 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 (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the most common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
