Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Scotland (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also fix any of the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Scotland - Scotland Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and was feeling contented the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were away in Scotland. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their Mitsubishi, and were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Berkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
