Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hemel Hempstead (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also take care of the common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
