We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Berkshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Berkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

We're able to get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
