It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Horncastle and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota hire car in error. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Berkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Horncastle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the normal issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
