It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Braughing Friars and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Braughing Friars (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the typical problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Braughing Friars - Braughing Friars Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had conked out just off a street in Braughing Friars. His Porsche motor had ceased running and he'd no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
