It was before 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Stockfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental car in error. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in Birmingham done well in my books!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Birmingham we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly never start the car - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank at the back of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Birmingham to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Stockfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the standard problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
