It was after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated discussing the football results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Glebe Farm and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and less concerned. One more job in Birmingham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Birmingham we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Birmingham to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Glebe Farm (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Glebe Farm - Glebe Farm Petrol in Diesel

A customer rang us from his residence on a road in Glebe Farm. He explained, "My car (a Toyota) is not running and is creating very bad noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
