It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Birch Hill and put petrol in her diesel son's Nissan Pathfinder lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Berkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.
