We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Halls Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Halls Green - Halls Green Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Halls Green. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Kia, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for being so daft. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this happens all the time in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved so long and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Halls Green

Some reports:

I'm not very hot for doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had just left home after a superb roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to help a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his Mercedes. He was stationed in Halls Green thus I was with him quickly. As I arrived behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some damage because of running it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and one more satisfied customer had the ability to continue on his journey with no fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Hertfordshire a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Halls Green - Halls Green Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer from Halls Green with a full car of children in her diesel Suzuki had put £40 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what might happen to her car . We assured her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."
