It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Sherington and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Buckinghamshire we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Sherington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from Sherington to say he had piped unleaded into his diesel MG. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer around fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He meticulously flushed the fuel system and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly done.
