It was before 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's sports, waiting for the 8th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in West Heath and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Birmingham well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Birmingham we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Birmingham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in West Heath (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Birmingham Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
