This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Watford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
