It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Kineton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Warwickshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Warwickshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Kineton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will handle any of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Kineton - Kineton Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from his home on a street in Kineton. He explained, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
