It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking over the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Water Orton and put petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. She was rather affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly.

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Water Orton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
