It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the recent rugby results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Whempstead and put petrol in a diesel Fiat lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the woman quickly.

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Vehicle Misfuel Whempstead - Whempstead Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling during my holiday and felt contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were vacationing in Whempstead. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Audi, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place on daily basis in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
