Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Pingewood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pingewood - Pingewood Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt contented the following working day as I set out to aid a young family on holiday in Pingewood. They stopped after filling petrol into their Smart, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place everyday in Berkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
