It was just after seven pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent rugby, waiting for the next call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Hulcote and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Bedfordshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may trigger 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 get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Bedfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hulcote (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They will handle any of the typical issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hulcote - Hulcote Fuel Drain

Last week a gentleman phoned us because his MG broke down along a street in Hulcote. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and got to the street before being forced to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays nearby, got to him in about ten minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back into the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
