It was close to seven pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were seated going over the footy results, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Northfield and filled petrol in a diesel MG lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is definitely harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Northfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Northfield - Northfield Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt contented the next day as I set out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Northfield. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their Peugeot, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Buckinghamshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted good bye and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
