It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were resting there talking over the recent footy results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Old Fallings and filled petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain in West Midlands well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Midlands we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Old Fallings (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will take care of the most common issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Old Fallings - Old Fallings Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt satisfied the next morning as I headed out to aid a young family on vacation in Old Fallings. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Suzuki, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her husband for being so foolish. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in West Midlands and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
