Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Bedfordshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in East Hyde (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the normal troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car East Hyde - East Hyde Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a motorist called us soon after his Mazda ground to a halt in the middle of a road in East Hyde. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before being forced to pull over. It was still early in the day and our technician, who lives locally, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
