It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were sitting talking about the recent rugby, ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Wilstead and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wilstead - Wilstead Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a perfect evening fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple holidaying in Wilstead. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their Audi, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this occurs frequently in Bedfordshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
