Petrol in your diesel car in Park Street? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you moving again with our specialist wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there going over the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Park Street and put petrol in her diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another job in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Park Street (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Park Street - Park Street Fuel Drain

Yesterday a young man telephoned us soon after his Porsche died in the middle of a road in Park Street. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove to the street before having to pull over. It was actually early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
