It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting there going over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Brinklow and put petrol in her diesel Volvo rental by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Brinklow (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
