It was just after seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated talking over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Ayot St Peter and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ayot St Peter - Ayot St Peter Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his home on a street in Ayot St Peter. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
