It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Shenley Fields and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. A job in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
