It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the recent tennis, at the ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Old Town and put petrol in a diesel MG lease car by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue Contamination
In Hertfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.
So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly simply.
Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.
Run Out of Fuel Services
Out of fuel in Old Town (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the common problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel Old Town - Old Town Petrol in Diesel
I had a terrific day cycling on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple away in Old Town. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Land Rover, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place all the time in Hertfordshire and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel and it wasn't a great start to our getaway." It was certainly no problem in any way for our engineer to go along and perform the fuel drain.
