It was around seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Kingsey and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less anxious. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
