It was around 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Barford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Warwickshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you get in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Warwickshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Barford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the common issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
