It was before seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the recent football, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Watford and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Watford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck.

Wrong Fuel Watford - Watford Wrong Fuel

A customer had stopped just off a road in Watford. His Smart motor had stopped working and he'd no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been why.
