AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Berkshire we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.
So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite simply.
You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Fuel Rescue Thatcham - Thatcham Fuel Rescue
A woman from Thatcham with a full car of kids in her diesel Ford had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be okay and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
