Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Potters Crouch (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will fix the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
