It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Upton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my books!

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Warwickshire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Upton - Upton Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just near a street in Upton. His Land Rover car had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
