This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hoddesdon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the typical problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hoddesdon - Hoddesdon Petrol in Diesel

A man had broken down just off a street in Hoddesdon. His Lexus car had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
