Wrong fuel in your car in Commonwood? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this situatiuon and get you running once more with our professional fuel removal assistance.
It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the next call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Commonwood and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda rental car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less worried. Yet another job in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.
AdBlue In Diesel
All over Hertfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.
Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
Should you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.
Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
Re-Fueling Services
Run out of fuel in Commonwood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

When we got to her she was not distressed any more and was pretty interested in watching our engineer complete the fuel drain on her Lexus. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my child, I only recently got it and so it truly horrified me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm really gratified that it was very easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Commonwood - Commonwood Wrong Fuel in Car
A young lady employed in Commonwood called us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Fiat and, like many prior to her, believed that she could basically top up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you repaired my vehicle."
