It was about five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Tilsworth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Tilsworth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the most common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
