It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the tennis results, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Stubbings and put petrol in a diesel Kia lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stubbings (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They can also handle the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stubbings - Stubbings Fuel Drain

A man had stopped just off a street in Stubbings. His Volvo engine had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was faulty till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
