It was before 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were resting commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Boarstall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Boarstall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Boarstall - Boarstall Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a terrific day fishing during my off day and felt contented the following working day as I was en route to help a young couple away in Boarstall. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and they were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation occurs all the time in Buckinghamshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would never ever live it down!
