Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hodge Hill

If you've mistakenly put the wrong fuel in your car and right now require a fuel drain you are probably scanning the internet hoping for a swift, trustworthy, competent and economical wrong fuel removal company in Hodge Hill or Birmingham. We are the contractor to suit your needs!

It was after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there talking over the footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hodge Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Birmingham well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Birmingham we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Birmingham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hodge Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle the common problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hodge Hill - Hodge Hill Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had stopped just off a road in Hodge Hill. His Vauxhall car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
