Petrol in your diesel car in Oldbrook? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can help to get you back on the road once again.

It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the rugby results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Oldbrook and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less anxious. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Buckinghamshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely never crank the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Oldbrook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Oldbrook - Oldbrook Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out near a road in Oldbrook. His Skoda car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
