It was before five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting talking over the recent footy results, ready for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Weston-on-Avon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Warwickshire we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business 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 safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Weston-on-Avon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Weston-on-Avon - Weston-on-Avon Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his place on a close in Weston-on-Avon. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not running and is creating dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
