It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking about the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Woodspeen and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.
