Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Buckinghamshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
