Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Boveney

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Boveney (wrong fuel Boveney) we are the guys you need to get in touch with. We serve the whole of the Boveney territory and all bordering areas.

It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Boveney and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.
