It was close to eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the tennis, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Warwick and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental car. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of 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 possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Warwick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
