It was just before seven pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting talking over the recent footy, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Bowsey Hill and put petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my books!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Berkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bowsey Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bowsey Hill - Bowsey Hill Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Bowsey Hill. His Peugeot car had ceased running and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been why.
