It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing going over the recent football, waiting around for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Willian and put petrol in a diesel Audi rental car in error. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less stressed. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Willian (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
