If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car and at this point have to have the wrong fuel removed you are most likely trawling the internet looking for a swift, reputable, competent and a relatively inexpensive fuel drain company in Long Marston or Hertfordshire. We are the service for your requirements!

It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking over the recent golf results, ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Long Marston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly never start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Long Marston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill the car. They will deal with any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
