Petrol in Diesel Nuthampstead - Nuthampstead Wrong Fuel Doctor

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel Hyundai in Nuthampstead. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only bought it a couple of days ago right after my previous car, which I used for more than 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Recent Fuel Drains in Nuthampstead

Various stories:

I'm not overly interested in working Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family after eating a magnificent dinner made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his Porsche. He was only in Nuthampstead so I was there quickly. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted damage by running it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so yet another happy motorist could carry on with their trip without the need for difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes working on weekends in Hertfordshire a little easier for me!
