It was before 5 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Digswell and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental car. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination
All over Hertfordshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.
Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Services
Out of fuel in Digswell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Digswell
Several of the standard details we have heard from the employees in Digswell:
We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Land Rover in Digswell. He had broken down on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the quandary up until the time I conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was pleased due to both your call-out time and your pricing". As you can imagine we were on-scene punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the technician said the driver was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.
Vehicle Misfuel Digswell - Digswell Petrol in Diesel
A lady from Digswell with her little ones in her diesel Smart had put £40 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She called us weeping and very worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what could happen to her vehicle . We assured her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids on board."
Vehicle Misfuel Digswell - Digswell Fuel Drain
The other day a customer phoned us because his Hyundai stopped working in the middle of a road in Digswell. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before needing to give up. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who resides nearby, arrived with him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
