It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the golf results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Wolfhampcote and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Warwickshire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Warwickshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Wolfhampcote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Wolfhampcote - Wolfhampcote Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young family away in Wolfhampcote. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal chastising her husband for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on regularly in Warwickshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good bye and considered what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
