It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Tringford and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in Hertfordshire done well in my books!

Services We Give:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Tringford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Tringford - Tringford Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from Tringford to say he unfortunately piped unleaded in to his diesel Jaguar. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took our technician around 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He totally cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the task professionally done.
