Completely qualified and expert in working with just about all kinds of cars.

It was close to eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the weekend's football results, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Sherington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Sherington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the standard problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Sherington - Sherington Fuel Removal

A man phoned us from his house on a road in Sherington. He exclaimed, "My car (a Mercedes) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said he would be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
