Our Areas of Competency :
Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Hertfordshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.
Take note that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Heronsgate - Heronsgate Vehicle Misfuel
I had enjoyed a great day hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following day as I set off to aid a new couple who were on holiday in Heronsgate. They had stopped after putting diesel into their Volvo, and were close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal berating her partner for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs everyday in Hertfordshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I'd never live it down!
