It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Dadford and put petrol in her diesel Ford hire car in error. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Dadford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dadford - Dadford Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Dadford. His Nissan engine had stopped running and he had no clue what was wrong till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
