It was around eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Grazeley Green and put petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Grazeley Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also fix the normal issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
