It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Fen End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in West Midlands done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fen End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They will handle the most common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
