Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will often produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Petrol in Diesel Marsh Benham - Marsh Benham Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set off to aid a young couple on holiday in Marsh Benham. They had conked out after putting petrol into their Ford, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this goes on constantly in Berkshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!
