It was around six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the weekend's football results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Burghfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental by mistake. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Burghfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Burghfield - Burghfield Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Burghfield. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Mitsubishi, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I listened to the girl chastising her partner for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Berkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
