Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Midlands we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in West Midlands to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Short Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Short Heath - Short Heath Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I was en route to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Short Heath. They stopped after adding petrol into their Lexus, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on constantly in West Midlands and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
