Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Upper Stondon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They can also fix the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
