It was before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were resting there talking about the weekend's football, waiting around for the sixth job of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Church End and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Church End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Church End - Church End Wrong Fuel in Car

Yesterday a youngster phoned us right after his MINI cut out along a road in Church End. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and drove as far as the road before needing to give up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides not far away, reached him in about 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
