It was before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the recent rugby results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Bell Bar and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bell Bar (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will handle any of the common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Bell Bar - Bell Bar Fuel Drain

A guy had conked out near a street in Bell Bar. His Toyota car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was awry until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
