It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Elloughton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. A fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Riding of Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in East Riding of Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Elloughton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix the typical troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Elloughton - Elloughton Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a great evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Elloughton. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in East Riding of Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
