It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Ballingdon Bottom and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to reach her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Petrol in Diesel Ballingdon Bottom - Ballingdon Bottom Petrol in Diesel
Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Monday and we were on the way to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel Fiat in Ballingdon Bottom. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just purchased it a week back because my former car, which I had used for over 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Hertfordshire woman!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
All around Hertfordshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.
Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.
Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. 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 can certainly empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Service
Out of fuel in Ballingdon Bottom (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will fix the normal issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ballingdon Bottom - Ballingdon Bottom Wrong Fuel Assist
A lady living in Ballingdon Bottom called us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fuelled car to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Land Rover and, like countless prior to her, believed that she would be able to just top up the tank with diesel and it'd be fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour or so while she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you repaired my car."
