It was around seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated there commenting on the recent golf, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Upper Stondon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we could reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at.

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Removal Upper Stondon - Upper Stondon Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a terrific day cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased the next morning as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were away in Upper Stondon. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel in their Audi, and they were around an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Bedfordshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
