It was about 8 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were resting going over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Stockfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT hire car in error. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Birmingham done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Birmingham we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Birmingham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stockfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Stockfield - Stockfield Wrong Fuel Assist

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family vacationing in Stockfield. They pulled over after adding petrol in their Mercedes, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in Birmingham and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he all the same got an earful. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
