It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Stevenage and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of 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 some drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stevenage (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will take care of the common issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Stevenage - Stevenage Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I was en route to assist a new couple who were away in Stevenage. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Dacia, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. In any case, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
