It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were seated talking about the recent sports, ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Westland Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Another job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.
