It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were resting going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Farnham Park and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Should you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Farnham Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Farnham Park - Farnham Park Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking during my off day and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I set out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Farnham Park. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Ford, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling off her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Buckinghamshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
