It was about six pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the sports, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Eton Wick and filled petrol in her diesel Audi hire car. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Berkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Eton Wick (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They can also deal with any of the common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Eton Wick - Eton Wick Wrong Fuel

A man had broken down just near a road in Eton Wick. His Vauxhall car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
