Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.
AdBlue Contamination
In Hertfordshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.
So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
Give us a call if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.
Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel.

A few examples:
Now I'm not actually excessively excited about doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed the family filled with a wonderful roast prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had put the incorrect fuel in his MINI. He was stationed in Harpenden hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived at the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on something else and didn't realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any problems because of starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be harm and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and so another contented customer had the ability to carry on with their journey with no difficulty. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on weekends in Hertfordshire just that small bit less painful for me!
