Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Have a fuel tank at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run out of fuel in Welwyn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car.

Wrong Fuel in Car Welwyn, Hertfordshire

Petrol in Diesel Welwyn - Welwyn Fuel Rescue

I had a fantastic day fishing during my holiday and felt contented the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple away in Welwyn. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Lexus, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs regularly in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
