It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Sandridge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is composed of a mix of urea and deionized water.Adblue can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Sandridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the standard problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sandridge - Sandridge Fuel Rescue

A customer phoned us from his residence on a street in Sandridge. He said, "My car (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is making dreadful noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
