It was before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing there discussing the recent rugby, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Chawston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and less stressed. One more job in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Bedfordshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Chawston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the usual issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Chawston - Chawston Wrong Fuel

A gentleman phoned us from Chawston saying he had mistakenly pumped unleaded in his diesel Skoda. "Shocking! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took the specialist approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the task properly done.
