It was around 9 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting talking over the footy, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Bothampstead and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at.

Our Services:

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Berkshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Berkshire to take care 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. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Bothampstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the normal problems which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A man who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Fiat called us for a fuel drain at the petrol filling station in Bothampstead. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the local recreation park . "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful start to our holiday." It was absolutely no problem in any way for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their getaway.
