These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Birmingham we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Birmingham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Highgate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your automobile. They can also take care of the usual problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
