It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the recent footy results, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Upper Winchendon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Upper Winchendon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Upper Winchendon - Upper Winchendon Vehicle Misfuel

A man had broken down near a street in Upper Winchendon. His Citroen car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was awry until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
