It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Henlow and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my books!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Bedfordshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Fuel Drain Henlow - Henlow Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a wonderful day golfing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to assist a new family away in Henlow. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Porsche, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs constantly in Bedfordshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
