Petrol in your diesel car in Inkpen? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you going once again with our expert fuel removal assistance.

It was before six pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and me were resting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Inkpen and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution made from a blend of deionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Inkpen (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Inkpen - Inkpen Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Inkpen. They conked out after adding petrol into their Mazda, and were about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation happens continuously in Berkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
