Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Bidford-on-Avon

Wrong fuel Bidford-on-Avon? We have the capacity to service the Bidford-on-Avon region rather well because one of our fuel drainers stays in the neighborhood and is consequently a stone's throw from the action.

We're simply a telephone call away.

It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and me were sitting talking over the recent footy, waiting for the 8th call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Bidford-on-Avon and filled petrol in her diesel MG rental by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure area and, because it was only a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another job in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Warwickshire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Warwickshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Bidford-on-Avon - Bidford-on-Avon Fuel Drain

A man had broken down just near a road in Bidford-on-Avon. His Volkswagen car had ceased running and he had no clue what was awry till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
