It was before eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were seated there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Springfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Birmingham we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Birmingham for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Springfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Springfield - Springfield Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a street in Springfield. He pronounced, "My car (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
