It was around eight pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hill and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota rental car. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Warwickshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Warwickshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also handle the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
