AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Birmingham we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely do not start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Birmingham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Edgbaston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Edgbaston - Edgbaston Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a young man telephoned us because his Land Rover broke down on a street in Edgbaston. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to drive as far as the road before having to stop. It was yet early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays nearby, got to him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
