It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the next job to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Tidmington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was living at.

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Warwickshire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely never start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tidmington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also deal with the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Tidmington - Tidmington Vehicle Misfuel

Last friday a man telephoned us just after his Vauxhall stopped along a road in Tidmington. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel motor and was only able to drive as far as the road before needing to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives nearby, arrived with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
