It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were sitting discussing the rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Shuttington and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT lease car. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and not so concerned.

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Warwickshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Warwickshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Shuttington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A man phoned us from his residence on a road in Shuttington. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
