It was about 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Old Fallings and filled petrol in a diesel Ford lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less anxious. One more fuel drain in West Midlands well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Midlands we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in West Midlands to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

We will get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home.
