We're merely a telephone call away.

It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent football, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Oakley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota hire car in error. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Oakley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
