It was close to eight pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the tennis, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Flitton and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Flitton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will handle any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Flitton - Flitton Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a customer phoned us just after his Toyota ground to a halt along a street in Flitton. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before having to give up. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who resides close by, was with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
