It was around 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the sports results, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Lee Bank and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Birmingham well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Birmingham we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring 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. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Birmingham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lee Bank (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lee Bank - Lee Bank Wrong Fuel

A man had stopped just off a street in Lee Bank. His Mitsubishi engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
