Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hunningham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
