Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Altmore and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!"

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

Vehicle Misfuel Altmore - Altmore Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to help a new family who were away in Altmore. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and were around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass quite frequently in Berkshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I drained all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the exact same error... I would personally never ever live it down!
