It was after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting going over the recent golf, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Long Compton and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Warwickshire well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really 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 your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Long Compton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also deal with the normal troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Long Compton - Long Compton Wrong Fuel Assist

I appreciated a perfect day hiking during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were on holiday in Long Compton. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their Smart, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Warwickshire and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
