It was around 6 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Froxfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bedfordshire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Froxfield (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Froxfield - Froxfield Fuel Rescue

A man rang us from his place on a close in Froxfield. He said, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
