It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy, waiting for the next call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Stockcross and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and less stressed.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend 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 hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stockcross - Stockcross Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Stockcross. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place on daily basis in Berkshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, but he yet still got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
