Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of fuel in Digswell Water (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
