It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Boldmere and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. A job in West Midlands done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in West Midlands to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Boldmere (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the normal problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Boldmere - Boldmere Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Boldmere. His Porsche engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
