If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Stanbridge (incorrect fuel Stanbridge) we are the people you need to speak to. We operate throughout the entirety of the Stanbridge vicinity and all bordering zones.

It was before ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Stanbridge and put petrol in her diesel Ford lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bedfordshire we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Bedfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Stanbridge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Stanbridge. His Citroen car had ceased working and he'd no idea what was the problem until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
