It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Warfield and filled petrol in her diesel Audi rental in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Warfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Warfield - Warfield Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man phoned us from his house on a close in Warfield. He pronounced, "My car (a Renault) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I flip the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
