It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Upper Stondon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Bedfordshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Upper Stondon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
