It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Hunts Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles from us, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages.
