It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! James and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's golf, ready for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Druids Heath and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Birmingham done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Birmingham we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Birmingham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Druids Heath (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
