We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hertfordshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Little Heath - Little Heath Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to help a young family holidaying in Little Heath. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Fiat, and were around an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
