Wrong Fuel in Car Selly Oak, Birmingham

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Birmingham we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course never start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Birmingham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Selly Oak (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Selly Oak

Testimonies from our own Selly Oak personnel:

Now I am certainly not very inclined to carrying out work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just left the family after a wonderful roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his Audi. He was only in Selly Oak therefore I was there quickly. As I arrived right behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other things and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any harm through starting it?" I stated that generally there should not be harm and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and yet another contented client was able to carry on with their travelling without the need for fuss. The man could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what can make working on Sundays in Birmingham a little bit easier to me!

She called us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fuelled previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the car should be okay and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the kids on board."
