It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the football, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Outwoods and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT rental. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could find the woman right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Warwickshire we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Warwickshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Outwoods (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of the most common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Outwoods - Outwoods Fuel Drain

A man rang us from his home on a close in Outwoods. He exclaimed, "My car (a BMW) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
