It was close to eight pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing there going over the footy results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Pingewood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar hire car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less concerned. Yet another job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Berkshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pingewood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stuck 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 (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will take care of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
