Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Birmingham we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Birmingham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Frankley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the usual troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Frankley - Frankley Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I set out to help a new family who were on holiday in Frankley. They stopped after filling petrol in their Fiat, and the car was roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her partner for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this takes place constantly in Birmingham and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, but he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
