It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! James and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Wendover and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wendover (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Wendover - Wendover Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a great day golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new family away in Wendover. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Honda, and they were close to an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place regularly in Buckinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had his ear bent. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good bye and pondered on what my missus would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
