It was before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and me were seated commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Kempston and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a secure position and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in Bedfordshire well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bedfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Kempston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They can also deal with the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Kempston, Bedfordshire

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kempston - Kempston Wrong Fuel

I had a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Kempston. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her husband for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Bedfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still got an earful. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
