It was around six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there discussing the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Falcon Lodge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental car. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Birmingham we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely 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 into your fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely don't crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Birmingham to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Falcon Lodge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will take care of the usual problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
