It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the sports results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Glebe Farm and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar lease car. She was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Birmingham we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Birmingham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Glebe Farm (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from Glebe Farm saying he had stupidly piped unleaded in his diesel Citroen. "What a pain! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my lovely diesel car!" It took our specialist approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and then put clean diesel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to have the task properly performed.
