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

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Vehicle Misfuel Letchworth - Letchworth Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a perfect day cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family who were away in Letchworth. They conked out after putting diesel in their Land Rover, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed as I listened to the gal berating her spouse for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place frequently in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Letchworth - Letchworth Petrol in Diesel

This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was about. It had been fairly dead up to now, and Brian and I were sitting reading some old magazines. This was an uncommon calm time in Hertfordshire. It was so relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I ended my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a Volkswagen". I told him to inform us exactly where he was and we set off, reaching him in Letchworth only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back home we found two young ladies on the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.
