It was before 10 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were resting talking about the recent sports results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Hardmead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so worried. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Buckinghamshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hardmead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hardmead - Hardmead Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were away in Hardmead. They had broken down after putting petrol into their Nissan, and they were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem takes place on a regular basis in Buckinghamshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd never ever live it down!
