It was around seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting there talking over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Hampstead Norreys and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of high-purity urea and deionized water.It is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hampstead Norreys (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home.
