It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there discussing the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in The Common and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly.

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in The Common (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will fix the normal troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal The Common - The Common Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a street in The Common. He exclaimed, "My car (a Suzuki) is not running and is making terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
