It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Dudley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Yet another job in West Midlands done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Midlands we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Dudley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They will be able to fix the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
