It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting talking over the recent golf results, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Gibraltar and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Gibraltar (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will fix the common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gibraltar - Gibraltar Fuel Removal

A person contacted us from his place on a close in Gibraltar. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not running and is making very bad sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
