It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Abbots Langley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mix of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Abbots Langley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They can also fix any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
