Services We Provide:

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thatcham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

They are also able to handle the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
