It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated commenting on the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Welham Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Welham Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will handle the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
