It was around seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent sports, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Tewin and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat lease car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Tewin (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the usual problems that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tewin - Tewin Fuel Drain

I'd had a perfect day fishing during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Tewin. They conked out after putting diesel into their Mitsubishi, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife telling off her spouse for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on continuously in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted goodbye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
