It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Altmore and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and not so concerned. A job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Altmore (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Altmore - Altmore Wrong Fuel

Last week a customer contacted us just after his Lexus cut out on a road in Altmore. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel motor and managed to drive as far as the road before having to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technician, who stays not far away, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
