It was close to eight pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting there discussing the recent footy results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Pouchen End and put petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Pouchen End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A person phoned us from Pouchen End to say he foolishly pumped unleaded in his diesel Lexus. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the work professionally completed.
