We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Berkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Reading (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the typical issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car Reading - Reading Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a man called us because his Nissan cut out in the middle of a street in Reading. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and got to the road before having to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives close by, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Reading

A number of the typical things we come across from our engineers in Reading:

We performed a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a lovely house in Reading recently. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to virtually reach home when my car quit." Our specialist went out, even though it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the Land Rover to everyone's satisfaction.

Fuel Rescue Reading - Reading Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel Land Rover called us for assistance at the Esso filling station in Reading. He decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great start to our vacation." It was absolutely no problem at all for our engineer to go out and perform the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their vacation.

Fuel Rescue Reading - Reading Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family who were away in Reading. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their Renault, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place continuously in Berkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally never live it down!
