It was around seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the tennis, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Weoley Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Birmingham we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Birmingham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Weoley Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to take care of the most common issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Weoley Hill - Weoley Hill Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a terrific afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Weoley Hill. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Birmingham and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
