It was around eight pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated there talking over the golf results, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Langford and filled petrol in her diesel MINI lease car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. One more job in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Bedfordshire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
