It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Astley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Warwickshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Astley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Astley - Astley Fuel Drain

Last week a motorist called us soon after his Lexus died in the middle of a road in Astley. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the road before needing to pull over. It was really early in the day and our technician, who resides not far away, got to him in approximately 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
