It was just after five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Earley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Earley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to handle the normal problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
