It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there talking about the recent sports, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Bower Heath and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bower Heath (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bower Heath - Bower Heath Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a close in Bower Heath. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Hyundai) is not starting up and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
