It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated there talking over the footy results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Lower Woodend and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Buckinghamshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Woodend (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They can also fix any of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lower Woodend - Lower Woodend Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his house on a close in Lower Woodend. He pronounced, "My car (a Smart) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
