Incorrect fuel in your car in Hemel Hempstead? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this emergency and get you going again with our professional wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated there talking over the football, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hemel Hempstead and filled petrol in a diesel MINI hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hemel Hempstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the usual issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Hemel Hempstead - Hemel Hempstead Fuel Removal

A week ago a motorist called us when his Volvo broke down in the middle of a street in Hemel Hempstead. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel motor and drove so far as the street before having to give up. It was really early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, was with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your fast response, especially at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."
