It was around five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the recent football results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Cheddington and put petrol in a diesel Toyota lease car. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Buckinghamshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the technical know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Cheddington - Cheddington Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a fantastic evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new family on vacation in Cheddington. They'd broken down after putting petrol in their Volvo, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this problem occurs regularly in Buckinghamshire and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he still got an earful by his missus. Poor chap. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
