Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thatcham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Vehicle Misfuel Thatcham - Thatcham Wrong Fuel Doctor

I appreciated a perfect day hiking on my holiday and felt satisfied the next day as I set off to aid a young family holidaying in Thatcham. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Citroen, and were close to an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for being so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs everyday in Berkshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thatcham - Thatcham Fuel Rescue

A woman living in Thatcham called us after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill up her car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired in an hour while she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you fixed my car."

Fuel Rescue Thatcham - Thatcham Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a perfect evening fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple vacationing in Thatcham. They had stopped after adding petrol into their SEAT, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Berkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
