It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the tennis results, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Holyport and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford hire car. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and less worried. One more job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Berkshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Berkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Holyport (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Holyport - Holyport Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific day cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a young family vacationing in Holyport. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Porsche, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the woman chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens everyday in Berkshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
