Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in The Node (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

They can also handle any of the usual issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel The Node - The Node Petrol in Diesel

Yesterday a young man phoned us when his Audi stopped along a street in The Node. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to drive as far as the road before being forced to halt. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your fast response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
