It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting discussing the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Burghfield and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental. She was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Berkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Burghfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will fix the standard problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Burghfield - Burghfield Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his home on a road in Burghfield. He pronounced, "My car (a Toyota) is not running and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
