It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting going over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bowling Green and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in West Midlands well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Midlands we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with 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 business premises in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bowling Green (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
