It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Wooburn Moor and put petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wooburn Moor (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the standard issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wooburn Moor - Wooburn Moor Petrol in Diesel

A person called us from his residence on a street in Wooburn Moor. He explained, "My car (a Citroen) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car however thought he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
