It was close to six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Sands and put petrol in her diesel Lexus rental in error. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Sands (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They will be able to handle the common issues which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Sands - Sands Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had stopped near a road in Sands. His Smart car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
