Petrol in your diesel car in Sparkhill? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you driving again with our expert fuel drain assistance.

It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the footy, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Sparkhill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in West Midlands done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Midlands we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in West Midlands to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Sparkhill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They will handle any of the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sparkhill - Sparkhill Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had conked out just off a road in Sparkhill. His BMW car had stopped operating and he had no clue what was wrong till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
