It was just after five pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the recent football rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Luddington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda hire car. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Warwickshire we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Warwickshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.
