It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the rugby rankings, ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Whaddon and put petrol in her diesel deep grey Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 lease car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Removal
Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us 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 even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Buckinghamshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.
So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
In the event that you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Sunday and we were on my way to help an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Volvo850 in Whaddon. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded in a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd only got it several days back when my previous one, which I'd had for about twenty five years, finally died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Buckinghamshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Whaddon - Fuel Rescue Whaddon
This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and me and Mark were relaxing browsing some old newspapers. This was a rare peaceful hour in Buckinghamshire. It was in fact so quiet that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the phone told me: "I have concluded my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the boss' Suzuki Samurai". We told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, getting to him in Whaddon no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thanks for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning to base we found two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.
