Services We Provide:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Birmingham we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Smithfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Birmingham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Smithfield, Birmingham

Wrong Fuel in Car Smithfield - Smithfield Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a great day hiking on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Smithfield. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their Lexus, and they were about an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on everyday in Birmingham and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and wondered what my wife would tell me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
