It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking over the recent football, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Allen End and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Warwickshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Warwickshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Allen End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will handle any of the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

It was still early in the morning and our technician, who stays close by, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really appreciate it."
