It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated talking about the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Tilsworth and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from the office, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Bedfordshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Tilsworth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
