Our Services:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Birmingham we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We told her that everything should be ok and that she would be back ready to go very quickly.
