It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Tickford End and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tickford End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix the most common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

It was actually in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives close by, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
