It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the football rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Lye and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. One more fuel drain in West Midlands well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Midlands we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many private and business properties in West Midlands to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Lye (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

They can also deal with the standard issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lye - Lye Fuel Drain

A man called us from Lye saying he pumped petrol into his diesel Nissan. "Shocking! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the task properly performed.
