We're merely a telephone call away.

It was around eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there going over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Cadmore End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Cadmore End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Cadmore End - Cadmore End Fuel Removal

A customer contacted us from his house on a street in Cadmore End. He exclaimed, "My car (a Nissan) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
