It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated commenting on the weekend's sports results, ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Lynch Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Berkshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lynch Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

He said that he put petrol in his diesel car however thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said he would be certain to inform people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
