It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the sports rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Mill Green and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
