It was about 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the footy, prepared for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Lower Brailes and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental. She was rather agitated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my books!

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Warwickshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Lower Brailes (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lower Brailes - Lower Brailes Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from his home on a road in Lower Brailes. He explained, "My car (a Hyundai) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
