We're merely a phone call away.

It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking about the golf, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Cookham Rise and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties 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. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Cookham Rise (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck.

Wrong Fuel Cookham Rise - Cookham Rise Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and felt delighted the following morning as I was en route to help a young family who were vacationing in Cookham Rise. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Nissan, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs everyday in Berkshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, even so he yet still got an earful. Poor chap. In any case, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
