Our Fields of Specialties:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Brookmans Park (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the typical problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Brookmans Park - Brookmans Park Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling contented the next day as I set off to aid a young couple vacationing in Brookmans Park. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their Smart, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I listened to the lady telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens all the time in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
