It was before five pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Meadle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Buckinghamshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously do not start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Meadle (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the typical issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Meadle - Meadle Vehicle Misfuel

A person phoned us from Meadle saying he unfortunately piped unleaded in to his diesel MINI. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our fuel drainer about fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the work properly done.
