It was just before ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated commenting on the golf rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Oldbury and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in West Midlands well done in my books!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Midlands we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in West Midlands to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Oldbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of the normal troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A person phoned us from Oldbury to state that he piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Dacia. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer around 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the job professionally completed.
