AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Midlands we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in West Midlands to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Tettenhall (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the typical problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tettenhall - Tettenhall Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young family on holiday in Tettenhall. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Mazda, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her man for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on regularly in West Midlands and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
