It was after eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the football results, ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Wyken and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in West Midlands done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Midlands we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in West Midlands for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wyken (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will deal with any of the most common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Wyken - Wyken Fuel Rescue

A while back a young man contacted us after his Lexus ground to a halt along a street in Wyken. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to drive to the road before having to give up. It was yet early in the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
