Incorrect fuel in your car in Pelham? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you running once more with our expert fuel drain services.

It was about 6 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there talking over the golf rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Pelham and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Birmingham done well in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s composed of a mix of urea and ionized water.Adblue is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Birmingham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Pelham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the most common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Pelham, Birmingham

Fuel Removal Pelham - Pelham Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to help a new couple who were on vacation in Pelham. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their MINI, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place on daily basis in Birmingham and that it is nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
