Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And of course never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in West Midlands to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Balsall Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They will be able to deal with the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
