Wrong fuel in your car in Bedford? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you running again with our professional fuel drain service.

It was close to seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting discussing the weekend's sports, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bedford and put petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bedfordshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bedford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bedford - Bedford Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my day off and felt delighted the next day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Bedford. They'd conked out after adding diesel in their Hyundai, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs regularly in Bedfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
