Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.
Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Borehamwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Borehamwood
I appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on vacation in Borehamwood. They broken down after inserting petrol in their work's Cadillac DeVille, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs continuously in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
