It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated there talking over the tennis, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Pelham and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Birmingham done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Birmingham we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Birmingham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Pelham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

It was really early in the day and our technician, who resides not far away, reached him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 2 a.m., I am grateful for it."
