Offered Services: Our Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Hertfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Sandridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the most common troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Sandridge - Sandridge Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down near a road in Sandridge. His Fiat motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
