It was around seven pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! James and me were seated there going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Wendover and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Buckinghamshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

A customer phoned us from his place on a road in Wendover. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is making dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
