It was just before five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Swineshead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried. One more job in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Bedfordshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very simply.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Bedfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Swineshead (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill the car. They will fix any of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Swineshead - Swineshead Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic day golfing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in Swineshead. They conked out after adding petrol into their Honda, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Bedfordshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he still had his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
