It was after seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Whitemoor and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Warwickshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Whitemoor (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also fix the typical troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Whitemoor - Whitemoor Fuel Rescue

A customer called us from his house on a road in Whitemoor. He said, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not starting and is making awful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
