It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Hunts Green and put petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course never crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Berkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hunts Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
