It was about 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Harborne and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Birmingham done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Provide:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Birmingham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Harborne (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the usual problems which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Harborne - Harborne Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my off day and felt contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple vacationing in Harborne. They'd broken down after adding petrol into their Fiat, and were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I listened to the lady chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place everyday in Birmingham and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
