It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the recent football, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Scotland and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Berkshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will often produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Berkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Scotland (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix the most common troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
