It was around 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting there talking over the sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Wallington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental car. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we could find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in.

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Wallington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wallington - Wallington Wrong Fuel

A customer had conked out just off a street in Wallington. His Vauxhall car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason.
