It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent golf results, ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Whempstead and filled petrol in her diesel BMW hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Whempstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Whempstead - Whempstead Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Whempstead. His Chevrolet motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
