It was just after ten pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the recent football rankings, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Goddards Green and put petrol in a diesel Audi rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and less stressed. Another job in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Berkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Goddards Green (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Goddards Green - Goddards Green Fuel Removal

A customer had stopped off a road in Goddards Green. His Smart engine had stopped running and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
