It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Inkpen and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot lease car. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we could reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may well cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Berkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Inkpen (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They can also fix the usual troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Inkpen - Inkpen Fuel Drain

A gentleman rang us from his home on a close in Inkpen. He pronounced, "My car (a MINI) is not running and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
