It was around 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Horncastle and put petrol in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Berkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Horncastle (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to take care of the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
