It was close to seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were resting there talking over the tennis, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Weston and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hertfordshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Weston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the typical problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Weston - Weston Wrong Fuel Doctor

Last week a young man telephoned us just after his Mitsubishi broke down in the middle of a street in Weston. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the street before needing to stop. It was really early in the morning and our engineer, who resides locally, was with him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
