Services Our Company Offers:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Barkway (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the normal issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
