It was just before five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports, waiting for the 8th call to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Whiteknights and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Berkshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Berkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Whiteknights (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Whiteknights - Whiteknights Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out just off a road in Whiteknights. His Skoda motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
