It was around ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were seated talking over the rugby results, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Bedford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bedfordshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bedford - Bedford Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following day as I headed out to assist a new family who were away in Bedford. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were close to an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem comes to pass constantly in Bedfordshire and that it's actually nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if I made the same mistake... I would never ever live it down!
