Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Midlands we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Gib Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also handle the usual troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
