It was around ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting going over the football rankings, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Selly Park and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Birmingham we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations very easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Selly Park (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Selly Park - Selly Park Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great day golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Selly Park. They had conked out after putting diesel in their Mitsubishi, and they were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens frequently in Birmingham and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
