It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Stourbridge and filled petrol in a diesel BMW lease car in error. The poor thing was very troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in West Midlands done well in my books!

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in West Midlands to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stourbridge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
