We're simply a telephone call away.

It was around 7 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Holly Bank and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. A job in West Midlands done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Holly Bank (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the common problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Holly Bank - Holly Bank Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman had conked out near a road in Holly Bank. His Mazda car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got absolutely no sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
