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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Warwickshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Warwickshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hartshill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix the most common issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
