Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Letchworth Garden City (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Following next are reviews and good examples of contaminated fuel removal we've undertaken in Letchworth Garden City:

I'm not necessarily very keen on carrying out work weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just come away from the family following a tasty Sunday roast made for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a man after he had put the wrong petrol in his Volvo. He was stationed in Letchworth Garden City so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I pulled up right behind the car and got out he told me "Thank God! I had my attention on other things and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created some harm as a result of driving it?" I determined that there should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd remove the contaminated fuel at once for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and one more delighted customer could continue on their journey without any subsequent fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Hertfordshire a little bit better to me!

The engine was spluttering and then it died when she reached the entrance of her office.
