We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bedfordshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Bedfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Potton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Fuel Rescue Potton - Potton Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a street in Potton. He said, "My car (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.

Recent Fuel Drains in Potton

Several of the more common stories we have heard from our technicians in Potton:

We not long ago had a phone call about a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his Peugeot in Potton. He had conked out on the road. "I was pleased at how quick you guys were in sending an engineer out to aid me when I stupidly filled my diesel car with petrol. Thank you". It goes without saying that we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. The motorist was pleased as punch by the time we were done and he went away cheerful.

Fuel Rescue Potton - Potton Wrong Fuel Assist

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were sitting reading through a number of old magazines. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Bedfordshire. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I only just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Citroen". We instructed him to let us know where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Potton not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for showing up so fast. As we were going back home we saw two ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

Petrol in Diesel Potton - Potton Fuel Removal

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Potton. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Suzuki, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in Bedfordshire and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
