It was before ten pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Windsor and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Windsor (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Windsor - Windsor Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific day fishing on my day off and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I was on the way to assist a new family who were vacationing in Windsor. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Audi, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Berkshire and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, however he yet still got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
