It was about five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Little Barford and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Another job in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Bedfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Little Barford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to handle any of the common problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Little Barford - Little Barford Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman rang us from his house on a close in Little Barford. He said, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
