These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
All around Berkshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.
Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Swallowfield
A few stories:
We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a young man who put the wrong fuel in his Vauxhall in Swallowfield. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem before it ground to a halt. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was pleased as a result of both how quick you were and your price". Obviously we got there promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. The motorist was over the moon by the time we finished and he went off satisfied.
Wrong Fuel Assist Swallowfield - Swallowfield Wrong Fuel
A young lady from Swallowfield with her children in her diesel Fiat had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She called us weeping and very upset as she had never wrong fuelled and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the car should be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids in the back."
Wrong Fuel Assist Swallowfield - Swallowfield Vehicle Misfuel
I'd had a perfect evening fishing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to aid a young family vacationing in Swallowfield. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their Dacia, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this happens regularly in Berkshire and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
