Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Berkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Tittenhurst (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with the common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
