Wrong fuel in your car in Astley? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you going again with our professional wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis results, waiting for the seventh job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Astley and filled petrol in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Warwickshire done well in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties 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 recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Astley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They can also take care of any of the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
