It was before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were resting going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Newbold on Avon and filled petrol in her diesel Ford rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Warwickshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Newbold on Avon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They can also take care of the common problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
