Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Wooburn (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix the most common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Wooburn - Wooburn Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific day hiking during my off day and felt cheerful the next day as I headed out to aid a young family who were away in Wooburn. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their Volkswagen, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady berating her man for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Buckinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
