Wrong Fuel Drain Reading - Reading Wrong Fuel Drain

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to assist an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel Citroen in Reading. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd only purchased it a week ago because my previous one, which I had used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Berkshire woman!

Our Areas of Experience :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mixture of high-purity urea and ionized water.It is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Any time you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many private and business properties in Berkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

I had appreciated a fantastic day cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to help a young family on vacation in Reading. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Audi, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place everyday in Berkshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Reading

Several reports:

We fairly recently received a call from a man who put the wrong fuel in his Nissan in Reading. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the quandary before it stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it working . I was impressed because of both your speed and your rates". As you can imagine we were on-scene promptly and flushed the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. The customer was smiling again by the time we were done and he drove off completely happy.

A driver who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel Smart contacted us for help at the BP filling station in Reading. He thought it would be good to top up before proceeding on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful start to our getaway." It was certainly no hassle in the least for our technician to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good holiday.

Wrong Fuel Assist Reading - Reading Wrong Fuel

Last friday a man telephoned us soon after his Volkswagen stopped working in the middle of a road in Reading. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and was only able to drive so far as the road before having to halt. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who resides close by, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
