It was before five pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Aylesbury and put petrol in her diesel Jaguar hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Aylesbury (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They will take care of any of the common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Aylesbury - Aylesbury Wrong Fuel Assist

Last monday a gentleman contacted us when his Vauxhall ground to a halt along a road in Aylesbury. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and had managed to drive to the road before needing to pull up. It was really early in the morning and our engineer, who resides not far away, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 6 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
