If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Harborne (incorrect fuel Harborne) we are the company you need to speak to. We assist the whole of the Harborne area and all surrounding parts.

It was before 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Harborne and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could reach her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Another job in Birmingham well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s composed of a mix of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course never start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Birmingham to take care of draining 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 an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Harborne (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the most common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Harborne - Harborne Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a young couple who were away in Harborne. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Land Rover, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem goes on constantly in Birmingham and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
