It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking over the tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Mentmore and put petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Buckinghamshire we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Mentmore (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle any of the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Mentmore - Mentmore Wrong Fuel

A man called us from his residence on a close in Mentmore. He said, "My car (a Ford) is not running and is making awful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
