It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there discussing the golf results, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hulcote and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental car. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another job in Bedfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bedfordshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hulcote (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will deal with any of the standard problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hulcote - Hulcote Fuel Drain

A while back a youngster contacted us soon after his Land Rover stopped working on a road in Hulcote. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, was with him in approximately 10 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
