It was about seven pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the sports rankings, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Kempston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Bedfordshire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Kempston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the common issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
