Services We Give:

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Birmingham we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in City Centre (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to handle the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor City Centre - City Centre Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great evening fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a new couple away in City Centre. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their Honda, and they were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her husband for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this goes on all the time in Birmingham and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
