It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting going over the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Hardmead and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. A job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
