Our Services:
Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Berkshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.
Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite easily.
Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Berkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.
