This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Warwickshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly do not start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Shilton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They can also fix any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
