It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Higham Gobion and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Higham Gobion (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to handle the most common issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Higham Gobion - Higham Gobion Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a motorist telephoned us soon after his MG broke down on a road in Higham Gobion.

It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, was with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
