Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Beaconsfield

Petrol in your diesel car in Beaconsfield? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this hour of need and get you going once again with our professional fuel removal services.

It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Beaconsfield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Another job in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually 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 will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Beaconsfield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded 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 fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the most common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
