AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Berkshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Whenever you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Berkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thatcham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thatcham

Tales from our Thatcham mechanics:

Now I am not necessarily too excited about doing work on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just left home after having a magnificent roast made for me by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his Land Rover. He was stationed in Thatcham thus it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of damage through starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be problems and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then one more happy client was able to continue on his trip with no fuss. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Berkshire a tiny bit easier for me!

Fuel Removal Thatcham - Thatcham Wrong Fuel

A motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel Honda phoned us for a fuel drain at the Tesco filling station in Thatcham. He thought it would be good to top up before proceeding on to the local caravan park . "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a wonderful start to our holiday break." It was absolutely no challenge at all for our technical engineer to go along and perform the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday.

Vehicle Misfuel Thatcham - Thatcham Wrong Fuel

I had a perfect evening cycling during the weekend and felt pleased the next working day as I set out to aid a new couple away in Thatcham. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their BMW, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl berating her partner for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this happens constantly in Berkshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!
