We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
