Fuel Drain Dunstable - Dunstable Petrol in Diesel

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel MINI in Dunstable. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I had only bought it a short while ago right after my other one, which I'd owned for about 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Bedfordshire lady!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

It can't be fun being stuck in a vehicle with the improper fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Porsche) in Dunstable endured exactly that headache: "As you know I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car recently. I was so troubled about it that I was actually in tears. But I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing that you were exceptional in sorting it out."
