Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Welwyn (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the normal issues that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Welwyn - Welwyn Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a man contacted us just after his Volvo cut out in the middle of a road in Welwyn. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and got to the street before needing to stop. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays close by, arrived with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
