It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Nash Mills and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Nash Mills (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Nash Mills - Nash Mills Fuel Removal

I had a terrific afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Nash Mills. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Nissan, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this problem comes to pass everyday in Hertfordshire and that it's really nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
