It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the footy results, waiting for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Whelpley Hill and put petrol in a diesel cyan Cadillac DTS rental. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Whelpley Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will often trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
