AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Berkshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Trapshill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Trapshill - Trapshill Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific evening fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Trapshill. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their Nissan, and were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on a regular basis in Berkshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
