It was about five pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the football rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Handsworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Birmingham well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Birmingham we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.
Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In case you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical skills and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.
Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Birmingham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Now I'm not ever too keen on working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids filled with a fantastic dinner made for me by the better half, and I was off to assist a man after he put the wrong fuel in his Ford. He was only in Handsworth and so I arrived on scene soon. As I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on stuff and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any problems because of starting it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be damage and also I would personally remove the fuel immediately for him. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and another content client could carry on with their journey without fuss. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make working on weekends in Birmingham just a small bit better for me!
