It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Little Hampden and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Buckinghamshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Little Hampden (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the typical issues which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Little Hampden - Little Hampden Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from Little Hampden to state that he had piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Nissan. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took the technician around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to get the job professionally completed.
