It was around five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Compton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in West Midlands done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

In West Midlands we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in West Midlands to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Compton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Compton - Compton Petrol in Diesel

The other day a man called us just after his Chevrolet cut out in the middle of a street in Compton. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before having to halt. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
