It was before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated discussing the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Edgbaston and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Birmingham done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Birmingham we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Birmingham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Edgbaston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will handle any of the normal troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Edgbaston - Edgbaston Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man rang us from his house on a close in Edgbaston. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
