Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Washwood Heath

Incorrect fuel in your car in Washwood Heath? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you running once more with our specialist fuel drain services.

It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Washwood Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental in error. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another job in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Birmingham we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely never switch on the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Birmingham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Washwood Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They will handle the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Washwood Heath - Washwood Heath Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Washwood Heath to say he had foolishly piped unleaded in to his diesel Smart. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer around fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel system and put clean fuel in the vehicle.
