It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's football results, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Wormleybury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car. She was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wormleybury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the standard troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wormleybury - Wormleybury Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a great afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to aid a young couple on holiday in Wormleybury. They had stopped after filling petrol in their Audi, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place everyday in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
