It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the recent rugby, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Scald End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in.

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Bedfordshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
