It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting going over the weekend's footy results, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Illey and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in West Midlands done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Midlands we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Illey - Illey Fuel Removal

A person contacted us from his house on a street in Illey. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a MG) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
