It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Pangbourne and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche lease car. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Berkshire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Pangbourne - Pangbourne Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented the next day as I set out to assist a new family on holiday in Pangbourne. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Ford, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on continuously in Berkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
