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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Arlesey (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Arlesey - Arlesey Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a young family who were away in Arlesey. They had stopped after putting diesel into their Honda, and were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Bedfordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
