It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Hurley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could find the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. One more job in Warwickshire done well in my books!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Warwickshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Warwickshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hurley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
