It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were seated there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the seventh job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Southcote and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mix of urea and deionized water (67.5%).It tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Southcote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the normal problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Southcote - Southcote Fuel Drain

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Southcote. He pronounced, "My car (a BMW) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
