The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bourton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly don't start up the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bourton - Wrong Fuel in Car Bourton

I'd had a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to aid a new family away in Bourton. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their daughter's Smart Forfour, and they were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens frequently in Buckinghamshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty quiet until now, and me and Paul were relaxing browsing several old papers. That was a rare peaceful time in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I leaped! The voice on the other end told me: "I've just ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel matte black Austin Mini by mistake". I got him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we left, arriving in Bourton only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thank you for arriving so promptly. As we were coming back to the depot we found two young women on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.
