It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the sixth job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Newport and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Riding of Yorkshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in East Riding of Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Newport (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 re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with the common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
