It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the footy, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Welwyn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. One more job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Welwyn (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Welwyn - Welwyn Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Welwyn. His Dacia engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty till he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
