In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hoddesdon and put petrol in a diesel MINI hire car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Services We Give:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Should you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
