It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent football results, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Great Shefford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Berkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Great Shefford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle.
