It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Holywell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bedfordshire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned 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 get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Holywell (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They can also take care of any of the typical issues which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Holywell - Holywell Wrong Fuel

A man had conked out just near a road in Holywell. His Honda car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was wrong until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no rest the day before and that must have been why.
