It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing commenting on the rugby results, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Clewer New Town and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected spot and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my books!

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Berkshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Berkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Clewer New Town (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Clewer New Town - Clewer New Town Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young family who were holidaying in Clewer New Town. They conked out after inserting petrol into their MINI, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in Berkshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted good-bye and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
