This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Birmingham we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Birmingham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Southside (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
