It was close to 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Ufton Nervet and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more job in Berkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Berkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ufton Nervet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ufton Nervet - Ufton Nervet Fuel Drain

A man called us from Ufton Nervet saying he had stupidly pumped petrol in to his diesel Mitsubishi. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job professionally performed.
