It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated going over the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Hardmead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW lease car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Hardmead (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
