It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent football rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Padworth and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Padworth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
