AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Birmingham we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Birmingham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Harborne (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harborne - Harborne Fuel Drain

I'd had a great day cycling during my off day and felt cheerful the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple away in Harborne. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Land Rover, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens continuously in Birmingham and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he still got an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
