It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Woodham and put petrol in a diesel MINI lease car in error. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water.Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And of course do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woodham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to fix any of the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

He carefully cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the job professionally performed.
