It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Ravenstone and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Ravenstone (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the typical troubles which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ravenstone - Ravenstone Wrong Fuel Drain

Last monday a man called us right after his Ford stopped in the middle of a street in Ravenstone. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and had managed to drive so far as the street before having to stop. It was really in the early hours of the day and our technician, who stays locally, got to him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really appreciate it."
