It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated commenting on the footy rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Gib Heath and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Birmingham well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Birmingham we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Birmingham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.
