It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby, at the ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Ridgacre and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. One more job in West Midlands done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in West Midlands to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Ridgacre (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the standard troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
