Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.
So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.
Remember though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling 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 tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the standard troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Cottered - Cottered Petrol in Diesel
This was certainly the night shift. It was around dawn and noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking at a number of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet hour in Hertfordshire. It was that quiet that when the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The customer said: "I just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot". We asked him to inform us exactly where the car was and we left, arriving in Cottered not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were returning to the office we spotted two young ladies at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.
