Our Areas of Experience :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Leckhampstead (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
