We got to him in 15 minutes since our technician was in nearby Woodside and had just done a fuel drain. He said, "I don't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck right here!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woodside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle any of the most common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Woodside - Woodside Wrong Fuel Assist

A man called us from his place on a street in Woodside. He exclaimed, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
