It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Ampthill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less worried. Yet another job in Bedfordshire done well in my mind!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Ampthill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
