It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the golf rankings, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Maidens Green and put petrol in her diesel Lexus hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Berkshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Maidens Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the typical problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
