This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Harrowden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Harrowden - Harrowden Wrong Fuel in Car

Last week a young man called us after his Lexus stopped in the middle of a street in Harrowden. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and was only able to drive as far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was actually early in the day and our engineer, who lives locally, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."


Recent Fuel Drains in Harrowden

Reports from our own Harrowden personnel:

We fairly recently had a call from a guy who put the wrong fuel in his Lexus in Harrowden. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I was amazed at how rapid you people were in sending a fuel drainer out to aid me when I mistakenly filled my diesel car with unleaded. I'm very grateful". Needless to say we arrived on the scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the client was fuming, but was very happy afterwards.

Vehicle Misfuel Harrowden - Harrowden Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Mercedes phoned us for help at the BP petrol station in Harrowden. He decided to fill up before proceeding on to the nearby recreation park . "I put unleaded rather than diesel which unfortunately wasn't a good way to begin to our getaway." It was no challenge by any means for our fuel drainer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday break.

Wrong Fuel Harrowden - Harrowden Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young family on vacation in Harrowden. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I listened to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Bedfordshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
