Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Gib Heath

Incorrect fuel in your car in Gib Heath? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this situatiuon and get you going again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Gib Heath and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another job in West Midlands well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Midlands we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Gib Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will handle the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Gib Heath - Gib Heath Fuel Drain

A person called us from Gib Heath to state that he unfortunately piped unleaded in to his diesel SEAT. "Shocking! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to have the work properly performed.
