It was before six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf results, ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Frankley and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car in error. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in West Midlands done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Midlands we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in West Midlands to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Frankley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Frankley - Frankley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his place on a close in Frankley. He explained, "My vehicle (a Porsche) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
