It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in West End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Berkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in West End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel West End - West End Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down off a road in West End. His Volvo motor had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was the problem till he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
