These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Warwickshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly never turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Warwickshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Heathcote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Heathcote - Heathcote Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a customer called us after his Skoda cut out in the middle of a street in Heathcote. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel motor and drove so far as the road before needing to halt. It was early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
