It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated commenting on the recent football, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Mortimer and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Berkshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Mortimer (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
