If you've put petrol in your diesel car anywhere in Lower Caldecote we'll be glad to come out and do a complete fuel drain. Petrol in diesel in Lower Caldecote shouldn't be a huge crisis. We're simply a phone call away.

It was around five pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Lower Caldecote and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Bedfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lower Caldecote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also fix any of the normal troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
