Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Berkshire we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We can easily come to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Burghfield - Burghfield Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling on my off day and felt delighted the following working day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Burghfield. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their Lexus, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem goes on everyday in Berkshire and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
