This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Watford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
