It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were resting discussing the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Braughing Friars and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people being unsure of the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Braughing Friars (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to handle the standard troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
