It was about 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the recent golf results, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Whittington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Warwickshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Warwickshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Whittington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the usual troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Whittington - Whittington Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a fantastic day fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young couple who were away in Whittington. They'd stopped after filling petrol into their Chevrolet, and they were close to an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I listened to the gal telling off her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this happens all the time in Warwickshire and that it's nothing to worry about, but he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
