It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were sitting there talking over the golf rankings, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Crown Wood and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Another job in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Berkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Crown Wood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Crown Wood - Crown Wood Fuel Rescue

A while back a gentleman phoned us soon after his MINI died along a road in Crown Wood. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to drive to the road before having to stop. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
