It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Sheldon and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Birmingham well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Birmingham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sheldon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the normal problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
