Petrol in your diesel car or truck in Broad Green? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Give us a call and find out how we can help to get you back on the road once again.

It was around 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Broad Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes hire car in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. A job in Bedfordshire well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bedfordshire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Broad Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the typical problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Broad Green - Broad Green Wrong Fuel

A guy had stopped near a street in Broad Green. His Vauxhall car had ceased running and he'd no clue what was wrong right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no sleep the day before and that could have been precisely why.
