Services We Give:
Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Birmingham we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.
Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very easily.
Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Birmingham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Sunday and we were en route to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Renault in Washwood Heath.

I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle.

I completed the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Birmingham woman!
