These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Berkshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Ashampstead Green - Ashampstead Green Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had broken down just near a road in Ashampstead Green. His Ford car had stopped running and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
