Our Areas of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Skirmett (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Skirmett - Skirmett Petrol in Diesel

A guy had conked out off a street in Skirmett. His Skoda car had ceased working and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that could have been why.
