It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there commenting on the golf results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Moseley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Birmingham done well in my books!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Birmingham we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Birmingham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Moseley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the standard problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Moseley - Moseley Fuel Removal

A while back a young man called us right after his Mitsubishi stopped working on a street in Moseley. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in about ten minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
