Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Birmingham we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not start the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Birmingham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hill Wood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle the typical troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Hill Wood - Hill Wood Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased the following day as I was on the way to help a young family who were holidaying in Hill Wood. They'd broken down after adding petrol in their Suzuki, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing goes on constantly in Birmingham and that it's really nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
