It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports results, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in East Burnham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in East Burnham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel East Burnham - East Burnham Petrol in Diesel

I had a wonderful evening cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were holidaying in East Burnham. They had stopped after filling petrol into their Porsche, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl berating her spouse for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Buckinghamshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
