It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Ridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our assistance is entirely mobile and we can come out irrespective of exactly where you are and have the automobile drained, cleaned out and working again in no time - and at a reasonable price!

Our Services:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ridge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They can also handle any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Ridge - Ridge Petrol in Diesel

Last monday a customer contacted us when his Chevrolet cut out in the middle of a street in Ridge. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel motor and got as far as the street before having to halt. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, arrived with him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
