It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the 8th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Southcote and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Southcote (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They will fix any of the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
