It was about 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Warfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Berkshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Berkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Warfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
