Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Swineshead (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will handle any of the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
