AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Birmingham we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Birmingham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Ashted (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Ashted - Ashted Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a new family on holiday in Ashted. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their Volvo, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal chastising her hubby for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on constantly in Birmingham and that it's nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
