It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there going over the golf rankings, ready for the next job for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Wareside and put petrol in a diesel Ford rental car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wareside (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
