It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the rugby results, ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Ufton Nervet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Berkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ufton Nervet (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the usual troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A motorist had broken down just off a road in Ufton Nervet. His Lexus motor had stopped running and he'd no clue what was faulty till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car."
