It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting going over the recent football, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Wavendon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wavendon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
