If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Woodloes Park (petrol in diesel Woodloes Park) we are the professionals you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Woodloes Park territory and all surrounding regions.

It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there going over the rugby, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Woodloes Park and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental in error. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Warwickshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woodloes Park (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Woodloes Park - Woodloes Park Petrol in Diesel

A man rang us from his house on a street in Woodloes Park. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
