It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the recent footy, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Southam and put petrol in a diesel Smart lease car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Warwickshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Warwickshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Southam (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
