Wrong Fuel in Car Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Fuel Rescue Hitchin - Hitchin Wrong Fuel Drain
Just had a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were off to help an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Renault in Hitchin. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station and broken down along a rural lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just bought it a few days back because my other car, which I had owned for over thirty years, eventually died". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire woman!

AdBlue In Diesel
In Hertfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty quickly.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Rescue Hitchin - Hitchin Wrong Fuel
A customer from Hitchin with a full car of kids in her diesel Chevrolet had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op station. She phoned us crying and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We told her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
