It was about six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Waddesdon and put petrol in a diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen.

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Waddesdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to fix the most common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Waddesdon - Waddesdon Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a motorist phoned us because his Vauxhall stopped in the middle of a road in Waddesdon. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and was only able to drive so far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
