It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in South Ascot and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Berkshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Berkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in South Ascot (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also take care of the standard problems that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel South Ascot - South Ascot Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in South Ascot. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Mazda, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens regularly in Berkshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and thought about what my wife would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
