Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bedfordshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Bedfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Millbrook (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
