Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Buckinghamshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly never turn over the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Hollingdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile.
