It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Steeple Claydon and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Steeple Claydon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
