It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting discussing the rugby, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in West End and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly.

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Bedfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in West End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will handle any of the usual troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain West End - West End Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had broken down just near a street in West End. His Mazda motor had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
