It was before six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the footy, waiting for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Mentmore and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki lease car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Mentmore (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will deal with any of the common problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Mentmore - Mentmore Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman called us from his home on a street in Mentmore. He said, "My car (a Audi) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle however believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
