It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the seventh job that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Swanbourne and put petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Petrol in Diesel Swanbourne - Swanbourne Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his residence on a road in Swanbourne. He said, "My car (a Volkswagen) is not running and is generating dreadful sounds when I flip the key."

We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
