It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the recent football, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Cofton Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another fuel drain in West Midlands well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Midlands we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Cofton Common (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They can also fix any of the standard problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cofton Common - Cofton Common Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a motorist called us right after his Renault cut out on a road in Cofton Common. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and got so far as the road before needing to stop. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who lives close by, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
